I've been using the Shrew Soft VPN client for serveral years now.....but

Compilation seemed to work correctly, as I didn't notice any errors in
the output (there were errors initially because I was missing some
dependencies that weren't listed in the instructions; so I'd find out
what package the missing dependency was in, install that package, and
then rerun cmake - on the third try cmake ran without errors and then I
ran make and make install and those ran without errors).
The problem is, when I run iked (and yes, I am running it as root) it
runs, appears to start up without problems (no errors in the on-screen
output), and then it just quits running (without generating any output
as to why). The first time I tried it, I didn't know it had quit
running, so I started up qikea, created the session config file, and
tried to make a VPN connection to my firewall and as soon as I clicked
the Connect button, it said that it could connect to the key server. So
I ran a ps aux | grep iked and the only thing returned was an entry for
the grep command. Then I did a ps -e and item by item checked the
output. No iked. So, every time I run iked, it shuts down right away. It
doesn't keep running as a daemon.
Hi Donald,
Please apply this diff. There is a bug in the client that makes it exit
when the pid file option is not specified on the iked command line. See
the iked man page for more details.
