Hmm, I have never seen a machines keyboard freezing because of our software. I know of 
several people who use our software with RedHad and its working quite nice.

The error message that IPv6 pings are dropped is fine. Once you have loaded the 
connection into Pluto, the SPD is in place, only allowing secured traffic to the other 
host. As no SADB entry matches the SPD, the packets are dropped. I don't know what 
wired this RedHat is doing so that you can not login again into this machine via 
console. Depending on from where and with what protocol (IPv4/IPv6) you want to telnet 
into the box, this can be an expected behaviour.

I don't know why Pluto does not do anything after the message "Aug  6 14:09:50 HP200 
pluto[1207]: | route owner of "hp100-hp200" CK_PERMANENT unrouted: NULL; eroute owner: 
NULL". I have never experienced this and I can not reproduce it here.

Can you just try to establish a tunnel mode connection between the 2 hosts? This is 
something that we do and test quite regular -> we never test transport mode :-)
