I'm doing an IPSEC experiment using Windows XP SP2 and Redhat Fedora Core 3.
I'd like to ask two things.

1. IPSEC SA between two machines is torn down repeatedly. It seems to occur
after a 5 minute idle time on the SA. By viewing Oakley.log file, I notice
the message saying "QM deleted - Notify from driver". Is it due to the SA
idle time expiration? If so, how can I fix the problem on my XP SP2?

2. Racoon, which is IKE daemon in Redhat FC3, seems not understand
Informational Exchange message from the XP. Any experiences or comments on
this point are welcomed.
