[Bug 261326] [NEW] racoon init script fairs poorly when using an unpriv user

[Matt LaPlante]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: racoon

Racoon offers the option to run as an unprivileged user (See "Privilege
separation" in racoon.conf(5)).  When attempting to enable these
options, the init script has some problems.

1) The unprivileged process attempts to read the .pid file, but fails since it's root owned.
2) Potentially related to #1, the init script fails to stop the racoon daemon using "stop" and "restart."  

racoon  1:0.6.7-1.1ubuntu1

** Affects: ipsec-tools (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
