If you have the money :-) there is a simple, yet powerful out of the box
solution from sonicwall (www.sonicwall.com). they produce firewall
appliances with integrated VPN functionality. I use it to connect two branch
offices to the main office. If a user from a branch office tries to connect
to the fileserver in the main office, the sonicwall builds up an encrypted
tunnel using IPSEC. The great advantage is, no configuration is needed on
the server/client computers. One Sonicwall costs about 1000.-DM. If you
don't have the money or if you want to learn about VPNs, then FreeSWAN IMHO
is the right choice. Not that easy as sonicwalls but more powerful and
customizable.

I think this is no problem with kernel 2.4, it's a general problem with linux devs. On 2.0 kernel I took the pty-redir source and replaced "pty" through "tty" (I think it was only in one or two places) and then it worked fine.
And as a side note (but less urgent): Is there an quick'n'easy'n'secure
way to
establish a VPN between a Windows XP computer and SuSE 7.3? Where to start reading?
Same problem I am on right now, thought whether there is a software for Windows that can tunnel GRE. iproute2 does. :)
