It's a cut down example. This won't work either:

#!/usr/sbin/setkey -f
flush;
spdflush;

add 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.42 ah 15700 -A hmac-md5 "1234567890123456";
add 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.42 esp 15701 -E 3des-cbc "123456789012123456789012";

add 192.168.0.42 192.168.0.1 ah 24500 -A hmac-md5 "1234567890123456";
add 192.168.0.42 192.168.0.1 esp 24501 -E 3des-cbc "123456789012123456789012";

spdadd 192.168.0.42 192.168.0.1 any -P out ipsec
	esp/transport//require
	ah/transport//require;

spdadd 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.42 any -P in ipsec
	esp/transport//require
	ah/transport//require;
