my kernel is:

uname -a
Linux blacknewf.newdatasys.com 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp #1 SMP Thu Jun 2 23:08:39 EDT 2005 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux



I have installed the cisco systems vpnclient on Fedora 3 successfuly, but installing it on Fedora 4 is another issue altogether. Also, On the Fedora 3 install, I did not alter the interceptor.c file. I have tried to install all the versions from 3.7 to the current 4.8 and after trying to insert the kernel module with the command:

/etc/init.d/vpnclient_init start

you get this:

Starting /opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/vpnclient: insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp/CiscoVPN/cisco_ipsec.ko': -1 Invalid module format
Failed (insmod)

I installed the kernel headers, and pointed the installation script to the path during the installation to: /usr/src/kernels/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4-i386

After researching numerous articles, there seemed to be some commonality on deleting the "&" in lines 607 and 732 in the inteceptor.c file. Before altering this file, the installation would fail with error message:

failed to make module "cisco_ipsec.ko" cisco vpnclient
The installation then proceeds without error messages, but----

Now it fails when trying to load the module. I also tried manually loading the module with:

modprobe cisco_ipsec

I installed the kernel headers, and pointed the installation script to the path /usr/src/kernels/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4-i386


Has anyone had any success with this on Fedora 4?

Any help would be appreciated.

i'd *strongly* advise you to use the gpl vpnc program instead of the official cisco client, it's so much cleaner and nicer to use.
