so now i tracked the problem with watchdog
- somehow it always puts the number of process 9083 in pid-file
- thats why it doesnt work
- i assume the pid has to be vpnc-connect pid or?
and i also tracked that the correct pid is in file /var/run/vpnc/pid

- any idea how to modify the script so that it will work?

My original problem (the Cisco VPN Client losing its DNS or routing after a few seconds), was solved by using an updated version of the client. I'm now on 4.6.03.0190 and everything is fine with my VPN connections..

Maybe one of you folks is still interested in a howto? There's a draft for an official VPN howto.

It doesn't solve the issue with the need to reconnect after the rekeying interval though

edit: PS: The cisco vpn client sucks indeed. Instead of reconnecting every 30, my system froze several times! :evil:

So many people would celebrate if vpnc would support rekeying, complaints about the proprietary driver/client are found all over the net. However, rekeying is officially in the vpnc TODO.
