I know about vpnc, but it doesn't support all of the features of the |
| 11 |
Cisco official client. Also, the Cisco VPN Client does *not* use binary |
| 12 |
kernel modules. The *client* is binary, the modules are source-based. |
| 13 |
Also, there's a patch in Bugzilla to add local LAN access support to the |
| 14 |
client, even if it is denied on the server side. I haven't decided if I |
| 15 |
am going to add the patch or not, since it does allow the client to |
| 16 |
perform actions that could violate a company's security policy. Of |
| 17 |
course, if someone else were maintaining it, it would be their decision |
| 18 |
to make. |
