Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to get the CISCO VPN client running under Fedora Core 2 Test1?
I currently have Linux Kernel "2.6.4-1.257"
I believe this has compiled and worked against Red Hat 9.0.
Is there a free VPN client that comes with Linux and works with CISCO VPN routers?
CISCO has a build script that looks like so: ========================================================== ########################################################################### # # A script to build the linux driver. # ###########################################################################
usage() { echo "$0" echo "Cisco Systems VPN Client Version 3.7.3 (A)" echo "Copyright (C) 1998-2001 Cisco Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved." echo "" echo "usage:" echo " ./driver_build.sh 'kernel_src_dir'" echo "" echo "'kernel_src_dir' is the directory containing the linux kernel sour ce" echo "" }
CC=cc LD=ld
KSRCDIR=$1 if [ "x$KSRCDIR" = "x" ]; then usage exit 1 fi if [ ! -d $KSRCDIR ]; then usage exit 1 fi
INCLUDES="-I. -I${KSRCDIR}/include" CFLAGS="-O2 -DCNI_LINUX_INTERFACE -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -D_LOOSE_KERNEL_NAMES -DHAVE_CONFIG_H"
$CC $CFLAGS $INCLUDES -c linuxcniapi.c $CC $CFLAGS $INCLUDES -c interceptor.c $CC $CFLAGS $INCLUDES -c IPSecDrvOS_linux.c $CC $CFLAGS $INCLUDES -c frag.c $LD -r -o cisco_ipsec frag.o linuxcniapi.o IPSecDrvOS_linux.o interceptor.o libdriver.so =====================================================================

I think it broke somewhere after 2.6.1. Since part of the software is distributed as binary only it would be best if you took up the issue with either you Cisco AM/SE and let them know how much you appreciate them supporting Linux and how you'd like them to release a newer version which works with later kernels. :)

I'm not aware of anything which would connect to VPN 3000 series concentrators through NAT and support XAUTH. FreeSWAN/OpenSWAN worked against IOS IPSec but with static keys and IPs and stuff I think.
If you're uncomfortable of running the Cisco VPN Client installer on every laptop (or whatever), you can have a copy of the nosrc.rpm I've been using to build the module with. The benefits are that things get installed and removed in an organized way. It's available at http://www.a51.org/sw/fedora/. You need to place the vpnclient sources in your SOURCES (or similar) directory and recompile for your preferred kernel.

vpnc works on 2.6 kernels (it's all userspace) and connects to Cisco VPNs.
I've been told it's a bit hard to get it compiled for some platforms (I'm running mine on a Debian box) but it should just be a question of using the right libgcrypt I think.

Okay, I have found an RPM vpnc-0.2pre7-1.i386.rpm for RedHat. Is there anything newer or possibly a "src.rpm"? I will try this.

You can find the source to VPNC here:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/vpnc
It hard to compile, because the author uses his own make/autoconf replacement called make++
Once you get that build the vpnc binary builds easily.

Will do.

Sounds good.
