PPTP breaks IPSEC Tunnels
« on: September 09, 2004, 06:40:39 PM »
We have a number of machines with the Custom SME 6 ISO that have a problem running PPTP concurrently with Freeswan IPSEC.   This does not happen with all the units configured originally from the same ISO, just those built recently.  The Freeswan was installed from:

freeswan-module-1.99_x509_0.9.15_2.4.20_18.7-1.i386.rpm
freeswan-1.99_x509_0.9.15_2.4.20_18.7-1.i386.rpm
devinfo-freeswan-1.99-8sme56.noarch.rpm

The problem is that when one connects to one of these SMEs, the IPSEC tunnels go down (all of them).  We can restart the IPSEC with /etc/rc.d/init.d/ipsec restart and they all come back up and the PPTP connection remains active.  The next incoming PPTP causes the same thing.  This is reliably reproducible.

Has anyone else seen this and been able to correct it?

Thanks for any help.
