IPSEC tool Racoon Crashes repeadly so VPN doesn;t connect
I'm using a PowerBook Pro running Mac OSX 10.6.6 (Snow Leopard). I have been connecting to a client server using the built in VPN connector for months. Yesterday my connection wouldn't connect and was timing out. I checked with other remote developers and they had the same issue. The resolved it by killing the "racoon" process. I did the same and VPN connected.
I googled Racon to discover that it is an IPsec tool (<http://ipsec-tools.sourceforge.net/>)
This morning I had the same issue. I decided to first try to flush the info by using the racoonctl app to run:
<pre>sudo racoonctl flush-sa ipsec</pre>
That didn;t work, so I decided to just kill the process. Sadly, I do not have a racoon process running now. So I rebooted. Still not process. I rebooted again and ran fsck. Still nothing.
I looked in the logs and it seems that racoon is crashing every 10 seconds (see below).
Anybody have any ideas on what I need to do to get this back up and running? This has seemed to happen out of the blue and it is eating up my time seriously at this point.
