The installation of secvpn in chroot cannot be done automatically. This means it is not supported and will not be fixed.
But I have one customer that runs secvpn in a chroot environment successful. The host system in this case is Red Hat and Debian is used in chroot. To do this you have to ignore the Error while installing that results from calling init -q in chroot. And you have to manually add the following line in the host system /etc/inittab: SVPN:2345:respawn:chroot <chroot-dir> /usr/sbin/secvpnmon After adding the line you have to run manually in the host system: init -q -----Original Message----- From: Vladimir Stavrinov [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Donnerstag, 22.
