Re: [Users] Connections not Deleted?

FreeS/WAN still ignores Delete Notification messages. Therefore
down-client is not called immediately.

D. Hugh Redelmeier from the FreeS/WAN team has presented a concept
on how to handle Delete Notifications at the beginning of April
but I don't know how far he is into actual implementation.
