Any progress with this guys? I am also trying to get something running |
| 25 |
between a router and my laptop (using kvnc) but I am failing with this error: |
| 26 |
===================================== |
| 27 |
info: Gateway hostname (my.remote_router.com) resolved to "XX.XXX.XXX.XX". |
| 28 |
error: [racoon helper |
| 29 |
err] /home/michael/.kde3.5/share/apps/kvpnc//setkey.ROUTER.sh: line 6: -f: |
| 30 |
command not found |
| 31 |
error: [racoon err] racoon: must be root to invoke this program. |
| 32 |
===================================== |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I am not sure that I want to run kvnc as root - after all it is a GUI |
| 35 |
application ... |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Worth nothing that unlike the OP my remote router is not running MS l2tp, but |
| 38 |
IPSec with PSK. |
