Thanks so much! The instructions for vpnc worked brilliantly. However, I
was wondering if it would be possible to mount /afs on glue via nfs.. I
just tried "sudo mount -t glue.umd.edu:/afs ~/afs", to no avail. I know
in Windows I can do this via OpenAFS..
Thanks for all your help.

Some distros don't include a .config file in their linux kernel source
packages, but do include a copy of the config in the linux kernel binary
packages. This is because the same kernel source is used to build multiple
binary kernels with different configurations, and it would be a waste to
distribute multiple kernel source packages with only minor .config file changes.
So, in Debian, for example, you have to do
'cp /boot/config-2.6.22-2-686 /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.22/.config'
before compiling anything using the kernel sources.
BTW ... if you're just trying to use the Campus VPN service, vpnc is sufficient
(packaged in Debian as 'vpnc') ... you don't have to install the official Cisco
client.
Put the following lines in /etc/vpnc/umd.conf (make sure your email client
hasn't broken the secret into several lines)
IPSec gateway vpn.umd.edu
IPSec ID UMD
IPSec obfuscated secret

Xauth username <your UMD Directory username>
Put the following lines in /etc/vpnc/umd-all.conf (make sure your email client
hasn't broken the secret into several lines)
IPSec gateway vpn.umd.edu
IPSec ID UMD-TunnelAll
IPSec obfuscated secret

Then just run 'vpnc-connect umd' or 'vpnc-connect umd-all' ... run
'vpnc-disconnect' to disconnect.

I think there is something wrong with my linux source. When I run the
install script, it has some grievances which I have reproduced below:
* Binaries will be installed in "/usr/local/bin".

* The VPN service will be started AUTOMATICALLY at boot time.
* Kernel source from "/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.20" will be used to build
the module.
Is the above correct [y]

Does the vpn not work with my kernel? I'm not sure what to make of these
errors. Could anyone help me out?
Thanks a million.
