I have successfully built & installed the Shrew Soft VPN client 2.1.7 from source for a 32-bit Slackware 13.37 system and using a VPN configuration that is known to work for Windows XP, I'm able to make a connection to the remote network. The tap0 interface comes up using the correct static IP address for the remote network and the routing tables appear to be correct but I cannot connect to or ping anything on the remote network.

Reading the Shrew Soft VPN Linux installation document under the section headed 'Configure OS' on page 4, it mentions using a text editor to modify /etc/sysctl.conf. There is no such file in or sysctl utility in Slackware Linux, where kernel parameters are modified through /proc filesystem with commands like this example:

        echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Can anyone confirm that correct Slackware equivalent settings would look like this:

cdandy@purdy:~$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter
0
andy@purdy:~$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/default/rp_filter
0
andy@purdy:~$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/lo/rp_filter
0
andy@purdy:~$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/rp_filter
0

Finally, the iked log is reporting:

andy@purdy:/var/log$ cat iked.log

What does this mean?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Andy
