To all:

I am currently having trouble trying to connect a m0n0wall 1.21 box  
to a FreeBSD 5.4 running ipsec-tools (racoon).

I have gone so far as to mirror the racoon.conf from /var/etc/ 
racoon.conf (on the m0n0wall) over to the FBSD box.  Regardless of  
what I do, phase 1 negotiation jsut doesn't succeed.  The last 3  
messages I get in the debug.log for the FreeBSD host are:

DEBUG: compute DH's private. (private, public, shared)

and then a hang.  after 30 seconds, it retries the entire cycle.   
exact log from debug.log on FBSD box is (addresses sanitized):
