BarryG,
thanks for the logfiles and sorry for the delay. The problem you're referring to is not connected to the fix we already shipped in 7.402 and not connected to any patch included in 7.403, though. I'll need to do some guessing what could cause your problem and what could help here:
If IpsecN interface is reported as missing, there is usually a part of the configuration missing. If a part of the configuration is missing, usually one (or more) of the parameters are not present. This could i.e. mean you use a DNS definition in your IPsec connection and at the point of starting IPsec the DNS name is not resolved yet. As an alternative, the (dynamic?) interface might not be up and running at that point. Usually this should 'fix itself' once the missing part is resolved or up - but in your case this seems not to happen.
Finding the problem:
- Please make a copy of the file /var/chroot-ipsec/etc/ipsec.conf when the system is up and running.
In case this happens again, please try the following:
- check /var/chroot-ipsec/etc/ipsec.conf against the version which was ok
- check in WebAdmin if some definitions used there (e.g. interfaces, DNS hosts, ..) are unresolved
- check if pluto is running or currently being restarted i.e. by selfmon
- check if a confd restart on the shell solves your problem
I apologize for obviously not matching your problem with our fix in 7.402/7.403 and look forward to resolving that one as soon as possible.
Regards,
Marcel
I'll reboot in a few minutes and compare the files.
My remote connections are to static IP definitions, however.
The only thing that is dynamic is my internet connection at home (DHCP Fiber), but my IP doesn't change frequently, even across quick reboots.
Thanks,
Barry
