Hi all

I am desperately trying to resolve a problem with my strongSwan IPSEC setup, 
which nicely builds up tunnels, but then refuses to send data. I.e. a ping 
results in a sendmsg: Operation not permitted message.

The very strange thing is that this error cannot really be reproduced.

The setup consists out of 4 Bintec routers (VPN 25) and a strongSwan central 
gateway. Both sides build up the tunnels without error. Some connections work, 
some do not (s. above). The pattern is completely random.

Other peculiarities:
- A reconnect (down followed by an up) does not help.
- A reboot of the central gateway may help (connections which did not work 
before work afterwards) or make things worse (vice versa).
- Letting the ping run shows that sometimes the ping works after a few minutes.

The firewall is switched off:
iptables -t nat -S
-P PREROUTING ACCEPT
-P POSTROUTING ACCEPT
-P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables  -S
-P INPUT ACCEPT
-P FORWARD ACCEPT
-P OUTPUT ACCEPT

Example: Right now, the connection from the central site (172.25.12.x) to peer 
A (172.25.17.x) works, peer B (172.25.14.x) does not.
