 I haven't looked into how well it is implemented, so I can't
really say anything about it, but it is possible to compile it
to use kerberos authentication.

 I was trying to use a homebrew vpn solution for my "wan"
backups, you know, the ppp/ssh thingy, but it was to unreliable
and it took to long for it to reestablish the tunnel on failure,
making my amanda backups timeout and die. Now I use freeswan and
it works great.
