Cisco VPN client
Environment:
- Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn, 2.6.20-16-generic
- vpnclient-linux-x86_64-4.8.00.0490-k9.tar.gz (got from work)
- Rackable.pcf
The package is broken wrt this Linux distro. A guy by the name of Alexander Griesser keeps creating patches to fix it. Here is the lastest on at the time of writing http://tuxx-home.at/archives/2007/05/29/T16_34_26/. He provides instructions too:
Unpack vpnclient sources: 1. Untar the VPN Client # tar xzf vpnclient-linux-4.8.00.0490-k9.tar.gz 2. Download the patch # wget -q http://tuxx-home.at/projects/cisco-vpnclient/vpnclient-linux-2.6.22.diff 3. Change to the vpnclient directory # cd vpnclient 4. Apply the patch # patch <../vpnclient-linux-2.6.22.diff patching file frag.c patching file interceptor.c patching file IPSecDrvOS_linux.c patching file linuxcniapi.c patching file linux_os.h Now the patch has been applied and you can safely install the client #./vpn_install
Then put Rackable.pcf in /etc/CiscoSystemsVPNClient/Profiles/
Instead of rebooting:
sudo /etc/init.d/vpnclient_init
Then to connect:
It seems it will always use the first ethernet interface, so if that doesn’t go anywhere, you have to disable it:
sudo ifconfig eth0 down sudo vpnclient connect Rackable
