I did that once for Transport mode with pre shared keys.
Attached there is a short how-to with some explanations.
Please let me know if you find errors.

Fedora Core 2 and Cisco 7200 Series Router IPSec Configuration HOWTO
====================================================================
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Notes
* There is a Linux machine with kernel 2.6 and up and IP address 10.10.0.61 .
* There is a Cisco 7200 series router with IP address 10.10.0.15 .
* The two are connected via LAN, the routers interface is Fast Ethernet 0/0 .
* Only IP addresses and <names> are free text, other words are reserved.
* The selection of protocols and algorithms (authentication encryption and hash
functions) is quite arbitrary. It can be changed, but note you change it the
same way in both ends.
* In all configuration files # starts a comment.
* Use: "show�" command in the router and "setkey -D�" to see what happened with
you configuration.
* Since the security is IP level, pinging seems like a sufficient test for the
configuration.
* This is in a peanutshell, please look at the links.
Fedora Core 2 Side
==================
Create ipsec.conf file. No security associations should be defined in that
file, they are created automatically by the "raccoon".
#!/usr/sbin/setkey -f
# Configuration for 10.10.0.61
# Flush the SAD and SPD
flush;
spdflush;
# Security policies
spdadd 10.10.0.15 10.10.0.61 any -P in ipsec
esp/transport//require
ah/transport//require;
spdadd 10.10.0.61 10.10.0.15 any -P out ipsec
esp/transport//require
ah/transport//require;
Add the policies to the machine:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -f ipsec.conf
Create psk.txt (pre-shared key) file:
# file for pre-shared keys used for IKE authentication
# format is: 'identifier' 'key'
10.10.0.15 <shared_secret>
Create racoon configuration file for IKE with a specific remote host,
10.10.0.15.conf :
remote 10.10.0.15
{
exchange_mode main;
my_identifier address;
proposal {
encryption_algorithm des;
hash_algorithm md5;
authentication_method pre_shared_key;
dh_group 2;
}
}
Create racoon.conf file. This file includes the remote file.
# Racoon IKE daemon configuration file.
# See 'man racoon.conf' for a description of the format and entries.
path include "/etc/racoon";
path pre_shared_key "/etc/racoon/psk.txt";
sainfo address 10.10.0.61 any address 10.10.0.15 any
{
pfs_group 2;
lifetime time 10000 seconds;
encryption_algorithm des;
authentication_algorithm hmac_md5;
compression_algorithm deflate;
}
include "10.10.0.15.conf";
Start racoon in foreground mode (-F) for debugging in the directory where the
racoon.conf file is defined.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -F
Cisco 7200 Series Router Side
=============================
Enter configuration mode:
router>enable
Password:
router#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Configure a security access list. Note that "permit" here mean that encryption
is permitted, "deny" means encryption is not permitted.
router(config)#ip access-list extended <list_name>
router(config-ext-nacl)#permit ip host 10.10.0.15 host 10.10.0.61
router(config-ext-nacl)#exit
A transform set is a combination of security protocols and algorithms. This is
what the sides negotiate during key exchange.
router(config)#crypto ipsec transform-set <set_name> ah-md5-hmac esp-des
esp-md5-hmac
router(cfg-crypto-trans)#mode transport
router(cfg-crypto-trans)#exit
A crypto map is the association between the security algorithm and access list.
The number '1' is just a sequential index.
router(config)#crypto map <map_name> 1 ipsec-isakmp
% NOTE: This new crypto map will remain disabled until a peer
and a valid access list have been configured.
router(config-crypto-map)#set transform-set <set_name>
router(config-crypto-map)#set pfs group2
router(config-crypto-map)#set peer 10.10.0.61
router(config-crypto-map)#match address <list_name>
router(config-crypto-map)#exit
Assign the crypto mat to the interface.
router(config)#interface FastEthernet 0/0
router(config-if)#crypto map <map_name>
router(config-if)#exit
Define the pre-shared key.
router(config)#crypto isakmp key <shared_secret> address 10.10.0.61
Define the peer computer.
router(config)#crypto isakmp peer address 10.10.0.61
router(config-isakmp-peer)#exit
Define policy with priority.
router(config)#crypto isakmp policy 20
router(config-isakmp)#authentication pre-share
router(config-isakmp)#encryption des
router(config-isakmp)#hash md5
router(config-isakmp)#group 2
router(config-isakmp)#exit
