Hi

I'm looking for the Cisco VPN Client for linux SuSE 8.1

It should be compatible
to the Cisco VPN Client
Version 3.6.2(A) for Windows.

You need a Smartnet support contract to download it from cisco.

The URL is:

http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center/vpn/client/

If you don't have access, check with the organization that is providing the VPN access; they should have access to the download site, if they don't already have the Linux VPN software.

I don't have access and I can't find
webseites to download.
I looked many times with google.
Some universities have, but you need access
as well.

You need vpnclient-linux-3.7.3.A-k9
Get it here :
http://www.itap.purdue.edu/airlink/
(click linux link).
Then :
aa@host:~> tar -xzf vpnclient-linux-3.7.3.A-k9.tar.gz
aa@host:~> cd vpnclient/
aa@host:~/vpnclient
aa@host:~/vpnclient> su -
Password:
host:/home/aa/vpnclient #

Be careful, it has some stability probs with some cisco, look at

hi

It's working fine, but all the time if I'm
restarting the computer, I have to start
the cisco vpn client manually and
after some period of inactivity the tunnel
goes down.

Howto configure, that the vpn clent
starts automatically after computer restart,
never ask for the user and password
and never goes down ?

my configuration is:

[main]
Description=VPN
Host=X.X.X.X
AuthType=1
GroupName=XXX
GroupPwd=
EnableISPConnect=0
ISPConnectType=1
ISPConnect=
ISPCommand=
Username=XXX
SaveUserPassword=1
UserPassword=
NTDomain=
EnableBackup=0
BackupServer=
EnableMSLogon=1
MSLogonType=0
EnableNat=1
TunnelingMode=0
TcpTunnelingPort=10000
CertStore=0
CertName=
CertPath=
CertSubjectName=
CertSerialHash=00000000000000000000000000000000
SendCertChain=0
DHGroup=2
ForceKeepAlives=0
PeerTimeout=100
EnableLocalLAN=1
enc_GroupPwd=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
enc_UserPassword=
VerifyCertDN=
EnableSplitDNS=1

kindly regards

hi

now it works !

and what I did:

check which runlevel starts linux:

# runlevel
N 5

and I created start links:

cd /etc/init.d/rc5.d
ln -s ../vpnclient S99vpnclient
ln -s ../vpnclient K99vpnclient

I think cisco vpn client
was created for linux RedHat
and it install start links for RedHat
