Re: [new] vpnc

does it work better than vpnclient? i'm wondering because for connecting to university, i must use the vpnclient that is working fine, but need to be rebuilt on every kernel-update

also i don't have the password, but we got a funny config file that contains only some funny hash-strings instead --- is this enough?

thanx in advance sharing experience

Well, it does work and it is very small and easy to use. I need a username/password to connect to my university.

There's a vpnclient password decoder, maybe this is useful to you.

I forgot to say that you don't need the kernel sources in order to compile vpnc, so there's probably no need to rebuild anything. ;-)
