I know about vpnc, but it doesn't support all of the features of the Cisco official client. Also, the Cisco VPN Client does *not* use binary kernel modules. The *client* is binary, the modules are source-based. Also, there's a patch in Bugzilla to add local LAN access support to the client, even if it is denied on the server side. I haven't decided if I am going to add the patch or not, since it does allow the client to perform actions that could violate a company's security policy. Of course, if someone else were maintaining it, it would be their decision to make. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation
