UF VPN - Ubuntu Jaunty installation notes
==========================================

Installing the VPN client for local access to UF services, from linux machines:

See the primary UF VPN page:
http://net-services.ufl.edu/provided_services/vpn/

1. Download the UF customized Cisco VPN client for linux from here:
https://net-services.ufl.edu/cgi-bin/vpn/vpn-clients.cgi

(needs Gatorlink authentication)

2. Check the installation help notes at:
http://net-services.ufl.edu/provided_services/vpn/vpn-install.html#linux

And, no, I did not follow these:
http://www.stat.ufl.edu/system/vpn.shtml

--------------------------------------------------------

For Ubuntu 9.04, installation was fairly smooth. 
I installed the client at "/opt/Cisco/VPNclient/". Then I got the infamous
"Could not attach to driver. Is kernel module loaded?" error.

Check to see if you VPN service has been started. 
/etc/init.d/vpnclient_init status

Start it.
/etc/init.d/vpnclient_init start 

Then, use the vpnclient command to establish the secure connection to UF network.

vpnclient connect ufl-vpn

Then, once done, REMEMBER TO DISCONNECT THE CONNECTION using

vpnclient disconnect


Happy Networking!
