For anyone having issues with the Cisco VPN client under the latest Fedora
2.6.22 kernels, there is a patch and instructions available here:
http://tuxx-home.at/archives/2007/05/29/T16_34_26/
I have tried it on my F7 system and it does work. Be sure that you have
the vpnclient-linux-4.8.00.0490-k9.tar.gz version of the client Linux source
tarball. Either 'unpatch' your existing code tree, if you used the 2.6.19
patch, or better, just remove the source code and untar the tarball to start
with a clean code tree.

For most of us, the Cisco VPN client is no longer required with Fedora 7.
The new (with F7) openvpn client read my Cisco Profile just fine, and
works with NetworkManager very well.
In fact, the openvpn client is much better than the Cisco VPN client in
that the openvpn client allows the local network to still function!
That is very handy for having a mounted file system functional when on a
VPN to work.

I don't suppose it works with certificates though?! Or does it?

Dunno about openvpn - but most this days probably use the vpnc client for
cisco based servers. (yum install vpnc).

My impression is that vpnc is much more CPU demanding than
Cisco's VPN client.

On the other hand, it's less likely to cause kernel panics and won't taint
your kernel. Take your pick.
Really, don't do heavy compute jobs while using the VPN and you'll be fine.

I use vpnc a lot, and I've never NOTICED that it hogs the CPU. And the
fact that it runs entirely in "user space" is a feature, as far as I"m
concerned.

Cisco doesn't see that as a feature, it's a security hole allowing other
systems to crawl thru into the secure network. Matter of perspective,
leave me out of the politics, I can see both sides of that one!

I use Cisco's VPN client, and I still have local network access.
It all depends upon how the system administrator (me, too) set up
the account on the VPN concentrator.

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
I was struggling just last night and going through all the new skbuff
changes and trying to figure out how to get it working and today saw
your mail!
And on a side note, I think vpnc does not support tunneling, so I am
stuck with the Cisco client. If anyone knows about an alternative, I am
willing to try.
later,
Rogue
