Bug Description
Binary package hint: racoon
Racoon offers the option to run as an unprivileged user (See "Privilege separation" in racoon.conf(5)). When attempting to enable these options, the init script has some problems.
1) The unprivileged process attempts to read the .pid file, but fails since it's root owned.
2) Potentially related to #1, the init script fails to stop the racoon daemon using "stop" and "restart."
racoon 1:0.6.7-1.1ubuntu1
