Hi all, looks like VPNC wins with Cisco anyconnect ssl VPN coming in second.
(I actually think we have a license for this feature set already)
Thanks as always for the great suggestions.

Hi all,
I'm running presently Cisco ASA 5520 hardware with the Cisco VPN client
to provide remote users access to network resources. I have one user who
is interested in a client for Linux (specifically CentOS) and not sure
what to suggest. Does anyone have any good pointers for a good client
that I can point him to?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
The Cisco VPN Client does support *some* versions of Linux. However, it
does not work with the latest versions of the Linux kernel so if you
user's kernel is recent (and unfortunately, "recent" doesn't really have
to be very recent) then the official Cisco VPN Client is not an option.
However, there is an open source VPN client that works with Cisco VPN
headends. I personally use and it works great:
http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~massar/vpnc/
It's included in pretty much all Linux distributions. A quick Google
search for "centos vpnc" turned this up as the first hit:

Hope this helps.
Cheers,
