[Openswan Users] IPsec on Ubuntu Linux Server 8.04 (Hardy)

[Kaushal Shriyan]

Hi,

I have setup IPsec VPN connections. The issue is it disconnects after a
short interval of time. I have to manually initiate the connection and it
starts working later. Please suggest.
Is there a way it can be ensured to be up all the times and not disconnect
abruptly.

I have updated the openswan package on Ubuntu Linux Server 8.04 (Hardy) to
the latest version.

I can send /var/log/ipsec.log and the output of "ipsec barf" through
pastebin service.
Please also let me know if anyone needs any other information or logs.

Please suggest/guide

Thanks
