I have in my to-do list to prepare the dotpup for the IPsec VPN.
Meanwhile, just do the following
1. Make sure that you have the development environment (usr_devx)
2. Download the attched files to /tmp
3. Execute the following commands:
4. Accept all the defaults.
To start the module just execute
To open a connection just execute
Dont put the extension for the profile. So if your profile is Myoffice.pcf just enter
vpnclient connect Myoffice
This will connect to your vpn network until you press ctr-C, so you will have to open another terminal to work on the vpn.
For example, in my case I use rdesktop to manage some windows2000 servers, so I open another terminal and write
Of course <myserver> should be the name of your server. e.g.
Meanwhile, just do the following
1. Make sure that you have the development environment (usr_devx)
2. Download the attched files to /tmp
3. Execute the following commands:
Code: Select all
cd /usr/src/linux
uname -r >.kernelrelease
make kernelrelease
cd /tmp
tar -xvzf vpn-client1.tar.gz
tar -xvzf vpn-client2.tar.gz
./vpn_install
To start the module just execute
Code: Select all
/etc/rc.d/vpnclient_init start
Code: Select all
cd /etc/CiscoSystemsVPNClient/Profiles
vpnclient connect <yourprofile>
vpnclient connect Myoffice

rdesktop -g 1024x768 <myserver> -K
Code: Select all
rdesktop -g 1024x768 prodserver -K

I'm hoping we can get this in the next release. My first post in the suggestion group sums up my thoughts:moritzes wrote:The PPTP w/ MPPE support (needed for connecting to Microsoft VPN's) looks a bit more difficult.

I made an appeal to Barry tonight with some links (not the best links, but I'm hoping they help) to source and I'm hoping he hears out plea.

I like to envision a Forbes 500 company's network admin at a corporate board meeting being asked a question and whiping out a usb pen to vpn into the corporate Windows AD network and fix some problem on the spot with a random terminal. As he/she triumphantly proclaims, "we can do that right now, I've got puppy linux here".
rarsa,
I get an error while running the install script

chkconfig: No such file or directory
./vpn_install: 47: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
Oops, that was an oversigtht on my part. You need the bash shell. I think I got it when installing the mrxvt DotPup. mrxvt is a more functional terminal console than rxvt. It's small, it can be transparent, it can have tabbed terminal windows, etc.dvw86 wrote:./vpn_install: 47: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
You can find it on the DotPups wikki http://www.goosee.com/puppy/wikka/DotPupsContributions
I have mrxvt and Bash as well, but I still get the error.rarsa wrote: Oops, that was an oversigtht on my part. You need the bash shell.

I'm flabbergasted,
I have no clue why.
Do you have bash linked to sh maybe?
Are you executing it from within mrxvt?
The offending line is the following
function getvalue() {
The way you call functions is different between bash and sh.
the first line on the script is:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
If I I change it to use sh, then I get exactly the same error as you.
make sure that your bash is the real bash and not a link to sh.

I haven't used 1.0.1 for a long time. I am not sure what I was using when I first tested. It may have been 1.0.3
I am using 1.0.6 and it's working. I may try with 1.0.1 when I get home (If I still have the CD around).
