I would like to use ssh through vpn in openSUSE 11.1
I have installed cisco vpnclient "vpnclient-linux-x86_64-4.8.02.0030-k9" with no errors. When I run vpnclient it runs w/o errors, eg:
vpnclient connect target Cisco Systems VPN Client Version 4.8.01 (0640) Copyright (C) 1998-2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Client Type(s): Linux Running on: Linux 2.6.27.39-0.2-default #1 SMP 2009-11-23 12:57:38 +0100 i686 Config file directory: /etc/opt/cisco-vpnclient
Initializing the VPN connection. Contacting the gateway at xxx.x.xx.xx User Authentication for target...
The server has requested the following information to complete the user authentication:

Your VPN connection is secure.
VPN tunnel information. Client address: xx.x.x.xx Server address: xxx.x.xx.xx Encryption: 256-bit AES Authentication: HMAC-SHA IP Compression: None NAT passthrough is inactive Local LAN Access is disabled
According to this vpnclient is working.
When I start ssh I don't get anything, ssh hangs:
ssh -vvv remote-computer OpenSSH_5.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8h 28 May 2008 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 debug1: Connecting to remote-computer [xx.xx.x.xx] port 22.
The program hangs at this point.
Hello: I found that not only ssh does not work but I can not browse either, ie there is a problem with the VPN network. BUT: If I change network settings in YAST to use network manager (by selecting Network Setup Method -> User Controlled with MetworkManager) VPN network start working. If network is set to use "Traditional Method with ifup" VPN network is not working. So there must be some configuration issue with tarditional network setup. As vpnclient works in oS 10.3 but not in oS 11.1 I guess the problem is caused by the new netconfig utility as it was introduced in 11.1. Could anyone please help me trace what can be the problem? (Since I would prefer to use ifup.) Thank you, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
