 Re: Secure Client for Linux
A new client of mine is running checkpoint VPN-1.
I use Linux.
My desktops and dev servers are all FC2 and FC3
I happened to have a production server with RH7 on it.
I installed the VPN-1 Linux client, and did /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S95checkpointvpn start rather than re-boot, since it's Linux, after all.
Kernel Panic
Re-booted, as the instructions said.
Kernel Panic before I could even login.
Re-boot, single user mode, nuke their startup script, and continued normally with no problems.
So, not only is it crippled, it's just plain BROKEN in a very bad way.
I'm stuck using only my new laptop where I haven't had time to wipe out Windows :-(
On that, we had the problem that their latest versions did not provide the options my client needed me to checkbox to get it to work: Specifically, he's using IKE and UDP [mumble]
So I had the joy of downloading successively older versions until I found one that had the IKE and UDP checkboxes so I could work with for my client.
I may simple give up working for this guy ; It's simply not worth the hassle and inconvenience.
Unless somebody knows of an OpenSource Linux (FC2/FC3) VPN client that has IKE and UDP that I can easily install and use to connect.
YMMV  |
