[gentoo-amd64] cisco vpn : cvpnd hangs

[Jonathan Schaeffer]

Hi list,

I have to configure the cisco vpn client at home on my amd64 gentoo box.

There's no way to make it run though the ebuild compiles and installs properly.

The symptom is the following, trying to run vpnclient :

Cisco Systems VPN Client Version 4.8.00 (0490)
Copyright (C) 1998-2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Client Type(s): Linux
Running on: Linux 2.6.17-gentoo-r4 #1 Fri Aug 4 12:02:53 CEST 2006 x86_64
Config file directory: /etc/opt/cisco-vpnclient

Enter Certificate password:
Initializing the VPN connection.
The VPN sub-system is busy or has failed.




Here are some infos I gathered about the problem :

azile distfiles # ldd /opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/vpnclient
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libvpnapi.so => /opt/cisco-vpnclient/lib/libvpnapi.so (0xf7ec7000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf7e85000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf7d6d000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7f10000)

azile jo # ldd /opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/cvpnd
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib32/libdl.so.2 (0xf7f46000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf7f23000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf7e0b000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7f6a000)

The permission on ccvpnd :
-r-s--x--x 1 root root 2178328 Aug  4 14:19 cvpnd

and finaly the strace output, where the error appears on the call of
umask() [sorry this output is a bot longer] :

since I had no problem before on my previous gentoo-amd64
installation, I came to the conclusion that ther is something wrong
with my computer ...

if someone as an idea, I'll try it out :)

thanks,
