Hi,

I have instaaked Fedora 11 Beta, now I have a major problem. I must use Cisso vpnclient

I get no error with creating the modules, if I start the connection no errors

but then Fedora will be frozen and I must hardreset my system.

Dit anybody else has had the same issue , or dit anybody know a solution

BYe

Use vpnc instead.
The Cisco VPN client for Linux was horribly, horribly broken last time I tried it, requiring all sorts of things to get it to build on 64 bit systems, SMP systems, and just about everything.

I have a little page on vpnc at

http://home.roadrunner.com/~computertaijutsu/vpnc.html

So, please try vpnc and see if it meets your needs. I really think it will.

To answer your question of did anyone else have a problem--yes, I had problems on both Fedora and CentOS, which is why I gave up and used vpnc. :)

Hope this helps you.

I should add--the article starts with building vpnc from source, but with Fedora you can simply run

yum install vpnc
