Hi Kai, I don't have the document on hand but I remember you'll have to chmod 4755 the cvpd binary in /opt/cisco ... (can't remember the whole path ...). Without this you can only start vpnclient as root - any attempts with a normal user will fail with a message like "Unable to drop privileges" or something.

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
actually I was not very clear, I think. From a term window, this works great. I am using the vpn link daily. But, it is just that I have to su to get it to work, and that the desktop icon does not work
Modify the Desktop Icon to launch as a different user (hint: root). Right click on the Desktop and select properties. Search around and you will find the setting.
That would work, but he shouldn't have to be root to launch. I'm wondering why that is. -- k -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
