Re: [SLE] cisco vpn client

Hi Kai,


I don't have the document on hand but I remember you'll have to chmod 4755 the cvpd binary in /opt/cisco ... (can't remember the whole path ...). Without this you can only start vpnclient as root - any attempts with a normal user will fail with a message like "Unable to drop privileges" or something.

Regards,
Florin

actually I was not very clear, I think. From a term window, this works
great. I am using the vpn link daily. But, it is just that I have to
su to get it to work, and that the desktop icon does not work

Modify the Desktop Icon to launch as a different user (hint: root).
Right click on the Desktop and select properties. Search around and you
will find the setting.

That would work, but he shouldn't have to be root to launch. I'm wondering
why that is.
