In a way this is a regression - vpnc almost worked in 10.1 and SLED10. It used to connect, but connections weren't that stable. In 10.2 it doesn't even connect. Cisco client next to it works ok ( given that you first manually port it to recent kernels :/ ). -- // Janne -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

And that part works for me.

I was talking about commercial cisco client, not vpnc. You have a version of it that supports 2.4.16+ kernel? -- // Janne -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes. However, since it taints the kernel because of its proprietary license and binary blob, I am happy to have vpnc doing exactly the same using a tunnel device. On top of that, the crappy ciscoshit does not support NATting clients connected to your local network [VMware machines and laptops, not the default route] even though the config has an option for it. -`J' -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
I have had mixed luck with vpnc on many linux distros. I have gotten
many people at my job to switch away from the standard cisco client
but we all noticed that running vpnc command line and not through
network-manager was the way to go. For some reason, when running it
through network manager the connection just drops sometimes, for
seeminglly no good reason considering the default config is used for
both of the GUI and command line.

I just unpacked the cisco vpn client sources on my new 10.2 system, ran the vpn_install script, and it all worked. No fancy GUI, but it connects and seems solid. Haven't had any luck whatsoever with any of the GUI vpn clients. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I almost did in 10.1 and in SLED10. Anyhoo, if you got cisco client to work out of the box with 10.2 then I guess it's just that our IT department is spreading something outdated :/ -- // Janne -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Sorry, that should have been Kvpnc, which is used to configure various VPN types, including PPTP. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
