Dear Matt,

I now fully understand your patch objective. However, please allow to go 
farther. Wouldn't it be best that all Libreswan default directories, 
filenames be fully configurable ???? If such case, it will become very 
hard between end-users and the people who attempt to support end-users 
to speak a consistent common language if someone refers to something 
when another refers to another thing.

> Hi Philippe, the xauthby= option takes either file|pam|alwaysok as its options, with 'file' indicating that you are using the /etc/ipsec.d/passwd file for credentials. You can't do xauthby=/path/to/file. This patch allows you to change the location of the file with a config setup option for when you use xauthby=file in the connection.
