Peter,

	Using Hybrid RSA Authentication requires that you create a single set 
of RSA credentials. Mutual authentication requires that you create two 
sets of credentials. One for the server and one for the client(s). Were 
you able to find the sample instructions outlined in the online 
documentation? It shows an example on how to create the ca and private 
key file using openssl.

	Afterwards, you would specify the certificate type, gateway certificate 
and private key in the racoon.conf file as shown in the sample racoon 
configuration file also in the documentation.

	The client software requires needs access to the ca.crt which contains 
the public key value used to authenticate the server.

	Hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please don't 
hesitate to ask.

-Matthew
