We have one user running OSX Snow Leopard who is having issues staying connected to our VPN running off of an ASA5510. His connection can die even as he's actively pushing traffic across it or if he's been idle for a period of time. Other users on Snow Leopard, Lion, XP, Vista, 7 and various linux flavors are able to stay connected for 24hrs+ without issue
We've deleted and remade the connection in System Preferences Networking, ran killall racoon (kills any lingering connections)
Below are the logs from the user's system.log from a connect/disconnect cycle:
