Product defect: 681996

Resolution
To be fixed in the next maintenance release of Authentication Services. The current release version is 4.1.1.22824.
Workaround:
Edit /etc/init.d/ipmon script by going to line: 71 and changing
kill "$@" "$pid" 2>/dev/null
TO
kill "$@" "-$pid" 2>/dev/null
Very subtle difference but the '-' in front of $pid is a group kill option, and will resolve the issue.
