hmmm. one of my 4.0-release hosts running isakmpd had something similar

happen a few days ago: it was using isakmpd -K + ipsecctl -f

/etc/ipsec.conf and then, AFAICT, isakmpd died and i got the same

isakmpd.fifo error. once i restarted isakmpd and issued the ipsecctl -f

/etc/ipsec.conf, all was restored.
