Hi List,
I try to get my VPN to run with the new network manager. Here is what I
do at the moment which works fine but I'd like to use the NM more :)
To connect to my Swinburne University I use the following script:
#!/bin/sh
sudo /etc/init.d/vpnclient_init start
sudo vpnclient connect Swinburne
Then I have to login with my student ID and password. The last thing
will be a question qhich should be answered with yes:
:~$ ./open_vpn.sh
Starting /opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/vpnclient: module cisco_ipsec is
already running. Use restart instead.
