[c-nsp] Cisco VPN client on Mac OS X 10.4 - still broken?

[Matt Hill]

Hi Tristan,

I was able to get mine to work first time, although my setup seems
slightly different to yours.  Our concentrator is a PIX which I do not
have any visibility of, so I can not tell you what is configured.

I did a clean tiger install, which of course did not have the previous
version of the VPN client installed.

I then got the client from the Cisco website on Monday AU time, and it
installed an ran correctly first time.

I did not attempt to import a PCF from my previous backup version, but I
configured a new one.

I was able to disconnect and exit normally, no kill -9 or anything like
that needed.

HTH,

Matt

All,

Cisco have finally graced the world of Mac users with their
Tiger-compatible 
4.6.03(0160) client which is officially supported under OS X 10.4.

Unfrotunately I'm not having any luck.

I have attempted to connect to our Cisco VPN concentrator (3000 series)
and 
it connects, authenticates and displays the connection banner, however,
it 
doesn't give me any details within the client and the OS doesn't seem to

have a tunnel active.  The client doesn't even show an IP address for
the 
link and packets still go out the network interface as if I hadn't even 
started the client.

Furthermore, when I try and disconnect, nothing happens - the disconnect

button greys itself out for a second and that's it.  I can't even quit
the 
VPN client and the only way out of it is to kill -9 it.

I have  tried removing the client by hand by removing all modules and 
settings files.  I have also tried the 10.4.1 OS update with identical 
results.

Others seem to be expericing the same problem.  Is this likely to be a 
configuration issue with our concentrators? Our production clients are
the 
4.03 release.  Is there anything different with the PCF profiles between

4.03 and 4.6?

thanks,
Tristan
