If I were you, I would start by yanking little Snitch completely, not just turn it off, yank or unload the kext and kill any associated process.
As it messes with the network at a pretty low level, I'd just not want to have it around while debugging hairy vpn stuff. |
Well, not sure how out of line this is, but I use the vpn 5000 client and it doesn't work by default either on 10.3. I had to find a page listing proper ownership and permission settings.
A quick search on google turned up this faq page... hope it helps cisco faq |
Ok. I reinstalled BSD subsystem turned off Little Snicht and I'm testig it again. I also looked at the permissions of the kext file. Everything done. I'll triy it now.
|
Ok... nothing helped. Sorry. I just can't imagine why the hell this isn't working. On my Powerbook I have exactly the same software including Little snicht etc... there everything works fine. I'm beginning to think that it might be something in the system. Maybe only a reinstall of panther could solve the problem...what do you think? But then I'll wait for Tiger.
|
Is this the end of further ideas? :-)
|
The Powerbook has a 32 bit proc, the G5 has a 64. Perhaps the VPN software uses some very low (assembly) level number crunching to authenticate? Have you checked with Cisco about this possibility?
|
Interesting idea... I'll have a look
|
nothing specially found about powermac g5...
|
Real sure there is nothing as we use the Cisco VPN client extensively here and have lots of users on G5s... You would have seen posts by me on that issue before if that was the case :D lolll
Personnaly I'm stil stomped by the fact that nothign gets loged when Leaf tries to start the client... At this point I personally would try an Archive and install on the system to see if it will then run. |

:( Forgot that the VPN client process doesn't work if your not connected !
Just didn't think about that... |
I'm connected through Airport to an Airport Extreme Base station. Since I also have my Powerbook on this WLAN (and there VPN works fine) it is not an issue with my Network (I think so....)

It is and has always been at the top of the list :-(.

That's very kind of you. I hope we will find something :-)

Can you check in the /Library/Receipts folder adn make sure that the following are there:
vpnclient-.api.pkg vpnclient-bin.pkg vpnclient-gui-pkg vpnclient-kext.pkg vpnclient-profiles.pkg vpnclient-startup.pkg And then maybe try to reinstall the kext one, restart then try the client again. Juust though of something... Have anything such as Norton System Works ? Internet Security ? Also, did you disable your anti-virus while you installed ? If you had not one that, try disabling the anti-virus and any other third party items and then installing it. |
As I already said. I'm not running a Norton System works or Antivirus... Nothing. Just Little snitch and that's it. But little snitch can't be the reason. I can't just reinstall the kext file (said the installer)
|
Sorry--
Haven't been able to duplicate it on any of my machines. The next time I assist a user with the problem, I will note what happens. |
not sure if vpn is anything like remote control or VNC....but shut off the service in shared for remote desktop....then start vpn....i can't use vnc when remote desktop service is running....maybe it's something like that.
