A couple of questions: which version of BLAG are you using? I am running 90001
- you can confirm your version as follows:
Code:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cat /etc/blag-release
BLAG release 90001 (oxygen)
The next question would surround which package manager you are using or plan to
use. both "apt" and "yum" are available, although yum is preferred on BLAG
90001.
Assuming the use of yum, you can search for any package in the BLAG repository
by typing "yum search <string>". I'll use "vpn" as my search string:
Code:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> yum search vpn
blag | 2.4 kB 00:00
primary.sqlite.bz2 | 9.0 MB 00:42
================================= Matched: vpn =================================
NetworkManager-openvpn.i386 : NetworkManager VPN integration for OpenVPN
NetworkManager-vpnc.i386 : NetworkManager VPN integration for vpnc
ike-scan.i386 : IKE protocol tool to discover, fingerprint and test IPsec VPN
: servers
openswan.i386 : Openswan IPSEC implementation
openvpn.i386 : A full-featured SSL VPN solution
openvpn-auth-ldap.i386 : OpenVPN plugin for LDAP authentication
pptp.i386 : Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) Client
tinyca2.noarch : Simple graphical userinterface to manage a small CA
vpnc.i386 : IPSec VPN client compatible with Cisco equipment
vpnc-consoleuser.i386 : Allows console user to run the VPN client directly
wifiroamd.noarch : Automatic WiFi connection (re)establishment daemon
Of the above, "vpnc" is a fully Cisco-compatible VPN client that I've used
successfully from Linux desktops. Install as follows:
Code:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> yum install vpnc
