 Well, I'm not sure about what is the case, and I find the man page vague
 and no relevant standards seem to apply (or I haven't found a good enough
 description anywhere).
 
 Racoon seems to use the same length for both (though assiging a different
 value first, to make the conditional code in CMSG_FIRSTHDR do the right
 thing):
 
        msg.msg_controllen = CMSG_SPACE(sizeof(fd));
 [..]
        cmsg->cmsg_len = CMSG_LEN(sizeof(fd));
 [..]
        msg.msg_controllen = cmsg->cmsg_len;
 
 Copying this for sshd would work too.
