[Openswan Users] pluto continuously restarting

[martin f krafft]

For some time now, our VPN gateway, running OpenS/WAN and the 2.6
IPsec stack (U2.2.0/K2.6.7-1-686) is causing major problems. Ever 30
seconds or so, Pluto decides to restart itself:

This kicks off all our roadwarriors, which is a major pain. I have
verified that cron is not doing anything here, and the intervals are
too irregular for cron:

What's going on? This is a real problem and I hope someone can help
me. I run plenty other machines with the same in-kernel stack and
without any such problems.

Thanks,
