[new] vpnc (GPL cisco vpn client)

vpnc is sort of a hack to get an open source cisco vpn client for linux.  It works great for me!

Uploaded last night to incoming as vpnc-0.2-1.src.tar.gz

PKGBUILD

# Maintainer: Joshua Rubin <joshua@cybertron.cc>
pkgname=vpnc
pkgver=0.2
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A VPN client compatible with Cisco's EasyVPN equipment."
url="http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~massar/vpnc/"
license="GPL"
depends=('iproute' 'libgcrypt>=1.1.90')
source=(http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~massar/$pkgname/$pkgname-$pkgver-rm+zomb.1.tar.gz)
md5sums=('ded67de747874c4245ed8405146dc94a')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver-rm+zomb.1
  make || return 1
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/sbin
  cp vpnc vpnc-connect vpnc-disconnect $startdir/pkg/usr/sbin
  gzip vpnc.8
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/man/man8
  cp vpnc.8.gz $startdir/pkg/usr/man/man8
}

In case the man page is not enough, here is my vpnc.conf file for connecting to my work vpn.

Interface name tun1
IKE DH Group dh2
Perfect Forward Secrecy nopfs
IPSec gateway XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
IPSec ID XXXXXXXXXX
IPSec secret XXXXXXXXXX
Xauth username XXXXXXXXXX
Xauth password XXXXXXXXXX

any tunX will work

I have already made a package for it:

i am not trying to step on your feet with this, just wanted to announce that it is in incoming, there was another package for vpnc in incoming but it was corrupt.

Heya,

I recently made my own PKGBUILD for vpnc which seems to be recenter, so I'll post it here if that's ok ...

greetings,

Michel

FYI, there was already a PKGBUILD in AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s=1&ID=594
I haven't tested it though.

Re: [new] vpnc (GPL cisco vpn client)

Hm, but if I use vpnc, I'm not able to use the pcf profiles I get from the university.

Not that I would net vpnc, since I was able to package the cisco-vpnclient. But I don't know if it would be allowed to publish it here...

Re: [new] vpnc (GPL cisco vpn client)

Hello,

kvpnc (I believe it is called that) can read cisco-configuration-files (pcf I suppose).

Greetings,

Michel

Re: [new] vpnc (GPL cisco vpn client)

hi, i think a vpnc-svn version would be handy! I think there are now so many patches in the svn. Maybe this can fix some. I tried to make a svn-version but failed all the time. Is there anyone out who can do a PKGBUILD?

THX!!
