I had a discussion on this issue with one of the upstream developers. According to him, racoon should observe the addition of a new IP address via a NETLINK socket, but this functionality is broken in versions prior to 0.8 causing it to fail with some configurations. He also mentioned that there was also a kernel bug related to this, which has since been fixed.
As I plan to upgrade to Precise quite soon, which ships with version 0.8, I think I can live with this bug, so this report can be closed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to ipsec-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/972786 Title: racoon does not bind to interfaces brought up afterwards To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipsec-tools/+bug/972786/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
