While I can not provide any specific help for this issue, I did want to point 
out, that under 10.5, for over a year, I had VPN services working by doing 
little more than settings up a plist, and installing a launchd item to keep it 
going.

I found iVPN, and was annoyed that there was such a high price on an app that 
in my opinion, at least at the time, installed two files, and loaded a launchd 
startup item.  I bought it anyway, and could not get the license code to work, 
so returned it and nuked everything that it put in.

I also put 10.6 Server on the machine, which apparently has one click VPN built 
in, so I may just use that.  I thought you may want to try to set this up by 
hand, as I do not see any need for additional software.

I was actually going to make a port that installed those two files for you, 
just have not had time.  I will look into it again, as it was not a lot of 
trouble at all, and just worked.
