In first restart kill command is used for clean shutdown of racoon proces, but without waiting for it's end. Than in start section new racoon process is started and it complains about ports already used. 2006-10-14 20:40:33: ERROR: failed to bind to address x.x.x.x[500] (Address already in use). 2006-10-14 20:40:33: ERROR: no address could be bound. 2006-10-14 20:40:34: INFO: racoon shutdown Probablly using start-stop-deamon may solve this. PS. There is another bug #136970 with using kill in racoon init script jakub@gentoo.org 2006-10-14 11:57:24 0000 So, does the init script in Bug 136970 work for you? If it does, just mark this one as duplicate. dadok@kvados.cz 2006-10-14 12:25:46 0000 No, it's using killall insted of kill (for stopping racoon in chroted envirovment), so new racoon proces can be started before previous stops too. xenoterracide@gmail.com 2007-02-01 05:10:55 0000 I have this problem with 0.6.3 of the tools. at least I think it's this problem, same symptoms, but I haven't checked the init script. hopeless@hamiltonshells.ca 2007-04-15 17:06:06 0000 I have the exact same problem on two very different gentoo systems, including the same racoon error output. "/etc/init.d/racoon stop; /etc/init.d/racoon start" has the same problem, but "/etc/init.d/racoon stop; sleep 1; /etc/init.d/racoon start" works fine. hopeless@hamiltonshells.ca 2007-04-18 15:38:12 0000 Created an attachment (id=116639) init script patch As the OP suggested, changing the init script to use start-stop-daemon fixes the issue. Also, the same problem exists when using ipsec-tools 0.6.7 (released on 2007-04-06) with the ebuild in portage, but works fine with the patch above. dragonheart@gentoo.org 2007-04-21 11:38:27 0000 this has been included in the latest version.
