Hello fwknop list,

I'm a new user of fwknop with GPG authentication on Debian. I first
heard about it during Michael's presentation at The Last HOPE and kept
the idea in the reptile brain for the right time.

I've put together a Xen virtual hosting environment based on the
packages in Debian Stable (Squeeze). It works great! Except for one
mysterious problem.

I'm connecting to the host OS, which is supported by an ethernet bridge
(xenbr1) between the physical interface (eth1) and the domU virtual
interfaces (vif1.n). xenbr1 is assigned an IP address. fwknopd listens
on xenbr1 in pcap mode.

I configured fwknopd successfully and sent a successful SPA packet to
the IP of xenbr1. The firewall rule was added to allow access and I
could SSH properly as expected. I went home and tried to connect from
there, which was successful. Two days have passed and I've verified the
server hasn't been rebooted nor has anyone else used SPA to connect to
the SSH port. Strangely, I can no longer get the SPA packet to open the
SSH port. I've confirmed this with nmap. Despite authenticating as
before, I cannot connect.

I have a few hypothesis I will test tomorrow when I'm in front of a
local console but I would appreciate any special advice to operate
fwknopd reliably on a Linux ethernet bridge.

Thanks for your help,
Ele
