vpnc does not need network manager. Setting up vpnc to a Cisco backend is pretty straight forward.
You have to make sure the tun module is loaded, configure your /etc/vpnc.conf file and off you go. If you only have an encrypted pass phrase from your Cicso config file it can be decrypted here:

The Gentoo instructions for vpnc are very useful, section 5 shows the config file setup.
Thank you. By your help I could easily set up and run vpnc. But I find it awkward: 1. It disconnects in the midlle of the work. It did it several times. 2. I don't know how I can run it as a regular user, not root. I googled but could not find a real solution. sudoing is not good for me. 3. It is difficult to check whether the connection is up or not. With vpnclient I knew when the prompt came back the client disconnected. With vpnc I have to run ps and check the pid, or use newtworkmanager and check the connection name server number. Not very starightforward. Can these issues be fixed somehow? Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
