I have this working on my home LAN. I have three machines (Windows 98SE,
Windows NT 4.0 and Linux (RedHat 6.1)) on the LAN all using VPN
simultaneously with the Cisco clients through a Dachstein Firewall. They
connect to company gateways running Cicso concentrators. I had to load
ip_masq_ipsec.o on the firewall and accept incoming UDP traffic to port
500. I just looked at my firewall logs, and the rule accepting the UDP
traffic has had 4229 packets since Tuesday. I also have a rule accepting
traffic on protocol 50. It has not had a packet. The data channel has
had many megabyts of data, but I don't log it separately.

Anyway, the Cisco client has an option to enable logging. I had to use
it to run down one problem on the machine running Linux. I used
cisco_cert_mgr to import the certificate. I tried to make a connection,
and the attempt failed. The log showed that the certificate was tested
as invalid. This surprised me, since it worked from the Windows
machines. I had to go back to my downtown office, and re-export the
certificate, makine sure that I exported the "full path" or some such
words. That certificate works fine on the Linux machine.

I don't know much about IKE, I guess that the Cisco Windows client that
I use was configured to validate the certificate by looking up the
certificate authority online, while the Linux client wanted all the
information to be present locally.
