I have followed Kai's how to instructions at:

Unfortunately, I am between VPN access right now, as I switched counties and haven't gotten my VPN setup yet.
1)the icon on the desktop fails to launch the client. No term window comes up, no connection is made. I get a spinny thing for a few sec in the panel, and then ... nothing.
Typically when this happens, it is SUSE's way of telling you something is FUBAR. The best way I've found to diagnose it is to launch the command from the command line. In this case try vpnclient connect yourpcffile.pcf If you get an error you can go from there. Remember to have the vpnclient_init service running first.
2)I cannot connect unless I su first. Is that normal? One has to have root priveledges to establish a vpn connection?
That's wierd. The folder to which the .pcf file is stored is world writable as are all the other pertenant folders. Dunno what to do there.
