vpnc - client for cisco3000 VPN Concentrator
Note: For IT 2006 you should have a look at this page: http://scriptkiller.de/cisco_vpnc_with_nokia_770.php, there you can also find proper DEB-packages and a GUI for vpnc!
This requires root privileges (see HowDoiBecomeRoot)
1 . Get the application installer package from http://penguin-breeder.org/maemo/download/
2 . Add /var/lib/install/usr/lib to ld.so.conf (or use "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/lib/install/usr/lib" before vpn-connect)
#!plain / # echo /var/lib/install/usr/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf / # ldconfig
3 . Create a config in /var/lib/install/etc/vpnc
4 . Start the vpnclient
#!plain / # /var/lib/install/usr/sbin/vpnc-connect yourconfig
It might be a good idea to add /var/lib/install/usr/bin and /var/lib/install/usr/sbin to your path...
See also KernelRequirements for reasons why there aren't much other ipsec clients around.
Installing vpnc with menu shortcuts
1 . you also need the vim editor for visudo: see the app catalog
2 . in folder: /var/lib/install/usr/bin/
create: /var/lib/install/usr/bin/vpn-connect.sh (replace YOUR_PROFILE_NAME)
#!plain
#!/bin/sh
if [ xuser = x`whoami` ];
then
sudo /var/lib/install/usr/bin/vpn-connect.sh
else
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/lib/install/usr/lib /var/lib/install/usr/sbin/vpnc-connect YOUR_PROFILE_NAME
fi
exit
create: /var/lib/install/usr/bin/vpn-disconnect.sh
#!plain
#!/bin/sh
if [ xuser = x`whoami` ];
then
sudo /var/lib/install/usr/bin/vpn-disconnect.sh
else
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/lib/install/usr/lib /var/lib/install/usr/sbin/vpnc-disconnect
fi
exit
3 . in folder: /var/lib/install/etc/others-menu/extra_applications/
create: /var/lib/install/etc/others-menu/extra_applications/vpn-connect.desktop
#!plain [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Version=1.0 Name=VPN - Connect Comment=VPNC-Connect script Exec=/var/lib/install/usr/bin/vpn-connect.sh Terminal=false Type=Application
create: /var/lib/install/etc/others-menu/extra_applications/vpn-disconnect.desktop
#!plain [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Version=1.0 Name=VPN - Disconnect Comment=VPNC-Disconnect script Exec=/var/lib/install/usr/bin/vpn-disconnect.sh Terminal=false Type=Application
4 . edit your vpnc config in: /var/lib/install/etc/vpnc/
Add the password to login automatically. (get the settings from your network administrator)
create: /var/lib/install/etc/vpnc/YOUR_PROFILE_NAME.conf
#!plain IPSec gateway _vpngateway.domain.org_ IPSec ID _GroupID_ IPSec secret _GroupPassword_ Xauth username _Username_ Xauth password _Userpassword_
5 . for safety if you add the password:
#!plain / # chown root:root /var/lib/install/etc/vpnc/YOUR_PROFILE_NAME.conf / # chmod o-rwx /var/lib/install/etc/vpnc/YOUR_PROFILE_NAME.conf
6 . do visudo to allow normal user to connect:
#!plain / # LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/lib/install/usr/lib EDITOR=/var/lib/install/usr/bin/vim visudo add: user ALL = NOPASSWD: /var/lib/install/usr/bin/vpn-connect.sh user ALL = NOPASSWD: /var/lib/install/usr/bin/vpn-disconnect.sh
