[strongSwan-dev] How to start charon without helpers?

[Alexander Sbitnev]

   Is there any correct way to start charon directly without using ipsec 
helpers?
I just intresting in using gdb and valgrind, so starting from helper can 
cause a lot of problems.
I can start it directly like that:
/usr/local/libexec/ipsec/charon --debug-ike 4
But how to manually setup connection? I suppose helper do it 
automatically. Is there easy way to reproduce configuration for charon 
manually?
