Hello,

I am experiencing the same problem.  I am testing it to see if I can find 
what is causing it.  I am running OpenBSD 4.0-stable and I went to add a 
new tunnel today and was greeted with a message the isakmpd.fifo did not 
exist.  I have isakmpd enabled in /etc/rc.conf with flags -K.  Even though 
I do not specify a location on the command line of isakmpd for the fifo to 
occur, it does exist in fact when the process is launched and sometime 
later dies off.  This is what I found today:

# echo ike esp from 172.31.33.0/24 to 10.9.9.0/24 peer aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd psk 
"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" | ipsecctl -f -
ipsecctl: ike_ipsec_establish: open(/var/run/isakmpd.fifo): No such file 
or directory

Where as before the exact same command has worked fine.

Thanks,

 		-Matt-
