I can agree this is not the best wording. What this paragraph is meant
to say is:
racoon does two things with this file:
1) for every SA racoon has negotiated it adds (appends) an entry into
this file;
2) if racoon is given -B option it loads this file while starting.
Racoon [at present state/ at the moment] do not provide any means for
removal/change of entries in this file, so such tasks should be made
manually [by admin or by custom made scripts]. These tasks should be
performed regularly or backup file will grow and fill filesystem.
For the i10n-english list, here is the original from racoon.conf(5):
path backupsa file;
specifies a file to be stored a SA information which is
negoti
ated by racoon. racoon(8) will install SA(s) from the
file with
a boot option -B. The file is increasing because
racoon(8) sim
ply add a SA to the file at the moment. You should
maintain the
file manually.
Suggestion:
specifies that racoon should store negotiated SAs in _file_. This
is intended to be used to restore SAs when racoon starts with the
-B option. Note that racoon does not currently remove expired SAs
from this file; you must do so manually.
Hmmm, better, but still awkward. Hopefully i10n-english can beat it
into something that sounds nice.
[btw: you may want to submit more stuff to i10n-english.]
