ucspi-tcp does not provide datagram sockets, but stream sockets.

If you want something similar to ucspi-tcp to launch amandad, check the
ipsvd package which has a "udpsvd" program. http://smarden.org/ipsvd/ -
BTW, it has the additional advantage of being open source, in contrast
to DJB's expiring proprietary free-use license, and is, again in
contrast to ucspi-tcp, actively maintained.
