I believe it depends on how you are using Openswan.  If you are using
both pluto (IKE) and KLIPS (IPSec), then I do not think you need ipsec-
tools.  However, I have never tried it so if someone tells you
otherwise, believe them!

If you are only using pluto and using the native 2.6 IPSec
implementation then I think you need ipsec-tools so that you have
setkey.  You will not need racoon.  You will need setkey to establish
the security policies which will then call Openswan's pluto when needed
to establish the security association.

Hope this helps - John
