Perhaps completely beside the point, but perhaps you could try strongswan for making your vpn. It has built in support for smartcards (in contrast to other vpn-software), and is available on the download server.
I just installed strongswan from here: http://software.opensuse.org/search?p=1&q=strongswan
However, I can't seem to make it work. I looked for an icon and don't see one. Resorting to the CLI, I get nothing there either.
Ideas?
jabba:/home/kai/Desktop # rpm -i strongswan-4.1.10.5-1.1.i586.rpm package strongswan-4.1.10.5-1.1 is already installed jabba:/home/kai/Desktop # strongswan bash: strongswan: command not found jabba:/home/kai/Desktop #
I'm kinda wondering if it put the executable outside of roots path. I know you can view where an rpm puts files using YaST's software module, and I'm thinking that rpm might have a switch that does basically the same thing.
If you have installed the 'rpm' and 'mc' packages you can browse any rpm file as described in: http://en.opensuse.org/Midnight_Commander/Tips section 'RPM browsing'. The rpm alone provides that ability too, though I had to browse manual to find all options that I need. That is the reason for me to use 'mc'. Instead of browsing manual or remembering a number of switches for all that 'mc' presents I have to remember to highlight a file and press Enter. Inside the rpm highlight CONTENTS.cpio and again press Enter. The 'mc' will extract files in /tmp directory and present them as a browsable tree. To see what is in the file, for instance, /usr/sbin/ipsec highlight the file and press F3, which will invoke viewer and that is how I know that 'ipsec' is the script. Holding Shift key highlight with mouse text that you want to copy, go to mail program place cursor where you want to copy highlighted, press middle button on mouse and text is copied, as in my another mail. BTW, have you seen my other mail? Are you use threading? Evolution should be able to do that. My answer to Kai is hanging in 2 hours before your reply. This is only to show files using rpm: rpm --qery --list --package ./strongswan-4.1.10.5-1.22.i586.rpm It will show list of files where /usr/sbin/ipsec is the only binary. The 'rcipsec' is the symlink to 'ipsec'. Though I can't find what option to add to above line, to see symlinks marked as such. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
