You mean, other than making isakmpd fail during startup?  It removes
and recreates the fifo when it starts.  It also removes it when it
exits.  Leaving the fifo there when there's no process listening on it
does not help things at all.  You need to figure out why isakmpd is
exitting and fix that and the fifo will take care of itself.

What is isakmpd logging when it "sometime later dies off"?
