Hello!

I need to use Shrew on my server that doesn't have any kind of X. So,
connection needs to be established on boot and be active all the time.
Also, I have .vpn config for this (which I can import to vpnc and use there).

Unfortunately, I cannot find any way to configure vpnd to act this way.


Hi Fedor,

I believe that Shrew clients in the 2.1.x stream require X, since the connect application (ikec) brings up a window dialog.

However, Shrew clients in the 2.2.x stream have a command line-only option, added in the alpha3 build (http://www.shrew.net/download/changelog/ike/2.2.0-alpha-3). Apparently the ikec application has been renamed, first to ikec-qt and then to qikec (http://www.shrew.net/download/changelog/ike/2.2.0-alpha-10), and a new program ikec has been added for command line-only connects.

So... if you're willing to build the Shrew 2.2.0 beta, you should get command line-only operation from the ikec application.
