Hi Clint. Thanks for your answer. I spent all the afternoon checking my configuration and starting racoon manually. And indeed there was an IP that wasn't answering properly but now it's fixed.
I've just seen your message and tried the script at init.d again and it printed the "." and the newline. So the problem was probably, as you said, that my wrong configuration prevented racoon to start. Testing it further, if I do "/etc/init.d/racoon start" twice, the first time the daemon will start and will print the new line. The second time it will fail because it's already running, but no error message is given and no newline will be printed. The problem seems to be in the --quiet option passed to start-stop-daemon. If I remove it I get: elo...@tangamandapio-laptop:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/racoon start Starting IKE (ISAKMP/Oakley) server: racoon/usr/sbin/racoon already running. elo...@tangamandapio-laptop:~$ The script seems to be assuming that the error, the "." and the newline will be printed by start-stop-daemon, but the --quiet option prevents it. Now, the quiet option is probably there for some reason, and I'm not sure if it's a bug. So I don't know what's next :) Thanks again, pura vida. ** Changed in: ipsec-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New ** Summary changed: - Racoon daemon script is missing a newline + if racoon daemon fails to start no error message is printed and newline is missing -- if racoon daemon fails to start no error message is printed and newline is missing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606375 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to ipsec-tools in ubuntu. -- 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
