Hi guys,

I need cisco vpnclient to connect to my company network.
1) emerged the vpnclient
2) imported the root certificate.
3) started the vpn daemon.
4) on starting vpnclient

Code: Select all

Cisco Systems VPN Client Version 4.8.00 (0490)
Copyright (C) 1998-2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Client Type(s): Linux
Running on: Linux 2.6.30-gentoo-r4 #1 SMP Tue Sep 8 21:47:02 IST 2009 i686
Config file directory: /etc/opt/cisco-vpnclient

No ouput for few minutes.

Code: Select all

The application was unable to communicate with the VPN sub-system.

The strange part is that it was working fine with gnome and networkmanager,
currently i'm using xfce4 and don't have networkmanager.

I tried to get it working using vpnc but it seems it doesn't have all features needed.

I have no idea why its not working as i can se no logs here.
I had copied the config used in the earlier system.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You actually have to load the cisco kernel module to make this work.
