      I'm boggled.  I've googled this extensively and I can't figure it out.  The configuration is simple and here's the kicker:  the VPN works 100% both ways.  It works absolutely perfectly, yet I still get this error in my logs every few seconds:

      Feb 11 11:41:39 racoon: ERROR: failed to pre-process packet.
      Feb 11 11:41:39 racoon: ERROR: failed to get sainfo.
      Feb 11 11:41:39 racoon: ERROR: failed to get sainfo.
      Feb 11 11:41:39 racoon: [testvpn]: INFO: respond new phase 2 negotiation: 74.xxx.xxx.xxx[0]<=>199.xxx.xxx.xxx[0]

      It's a very simple site to site configuration between pfsense and Checkpoint.  Both sites have the same settings and we have 192.168.55.0/24 at one end and 192.168.56.0/24 at the other end.  It works perfectly, yet I still get these errors.  Anyone have any ideas?

        Sorry no ideas but I also have these errors and have looked around for answers. My VPNs also work just fine but it is a little disconcerting.
