Hi Fedor,
I believe that Shrew clients in the 2.1.x stream require X, since the
connect application (ikec) brings up a window dialog.
However, Shrew clients in the 2.2.x stream have a command line-only
option, added in the alpha3 build
(http://www.shrew.net/download/changelog/ike/2.2.0-alpha-3). Apparently
the ikec application has been renamed, first to ikec-qt and then to
qikec (http://www.shrew.net/download/changelog/ike/2.2.0-alpha-10), and
a new program ikec has been added for command line-only connects.
So... if you're willing to build the Shrew 2.2.0 beta, you should get
command line-only operation from the ikec application.
