I've been using the Shrew Soft VPN client for serveral years now.....but on
Windows, and it has worked great. But now I'm trying to get it to work on Linux
and I cannot get it to work.
Compilation seemed to work correctly, as I didn't notice any errors in the
output (there were errors initially because I was missing some dependencies
that weren't listed in the instructions; so I'd find out what package the
missing dependency was in, install that package, and then rerun cmake - on the
third try cmake ran without errors and then I ran make and make install and
those ran without errors).
The problem is, when I run iked (and yes, I am running it as root) it runs,
appears to start up without problems (no errors in the on-screen output), and
then it just quits running (without generating any output as to why). The first
time I tried it, I didn't know it had quit running, so I started up qikea,
created the session config file, and tried to make a VPN connection to my
firewall and as soon as I clicked the Connect button, it said that it could
connect to the key server. So I ran a ps aux | grep iked and the only thing
returned was an entry for the grep command. Then I did a ps -e and item by item
checked the output. No iked. So, every time I run iked, it shuts down right
away. It doesn't keep running as a daemon.
