I use the ipsec.exe successfully on XP SP2 clients to openswan servers. I set 
up a service which users can stop and start and which starts and stops ipsec. 
I am very satisfied, because I was able to write a batch file, by which I can 
prevent user to run ipsec.exe when he is connected directly to the network. I 
was excepting troubles when he run ipsec.exe when connected directly to the 
network. Is this also possible with lsipsectool? I am not familiar with it.

Thanks.
