Racoon stops without any cause

So a badly configured tunnel seems to kill racoon … Will this help ?
What was badly configured? I have noticed that all that had the problem are showing core dumps. Could be bad memory or bad memory management by raccoon. Are there any other packages being used?

Hi,
when I said "badly" it was just a way to say that one side was using an ID and not the other side.
Anyway I disabled all the "misconfigured" tunnels but I still get the same problem, even with version 2.0 Release.
Racoon stops once or twice a day. Fortunately some kind of cron restarts it from time to time but looks like a bug.
Where can I find the core dump and who will be interested in debugging it ? -
The problem remains the same : once or twice a day racoon crashes. Fortunately some king of script restarts it after a while. Is the a way to stop this ?

@theblast: Can you post your script restart ?
thank you!
-
Hi,
no because I don't know which script it is ! I just wanted to point out that a script does the job. -
Are you running snort or any other packages? What type of hardware do you have? Single/Multiple Core CPU and how much memory?
-
Hi,
Only VPN Client export package is installed.
The hardware :- abit motherboard (2011) / Core I3 intel processor
- Ram 2 Go
- Network : Lan is intel PCI Express Gigabit adapter, others are DLINK DFE 530 Tx 100 mb

Except for the DLink, it sounds ideal. Have you run memtest on the machine to make sure memory is good?

Hi Podilarius,
- maybe the d-link is not an ideal choice - I agree
- No, I did not check the memory, nor the hard drive. It really sounds like a bug to me but I'll do the test one of those days.
