Vpnc works fine

If you don't want to have to recompile the kernel to use the Cisco VPN 3000, vpnc seems to work. Two things to keep in mind when using it:

  1. You must be root (or sudo) when playing with your network interfaces, and so you must be when using vpnc.
  2. You must open port 500 to isakmp UDP packets when you connect to the VPN.

I Googled for "cisco vpn itables" and found what I'd forgotten since I read Cisco's install doc for the VPN 3000 client.

Let me know if you want my conf or script to use vpnc.
