http://askubuntu.com – I am setting up Cisco VPN on Ubuntu 12.04, when I run into strange behavior. I have downloaded and installed the following packages: vpnc network-manager-vpnc and dependencies.

The Cisco VPN client, vpnc, enables your Linux workstation to connect to a Cisco 3000 series VPN concentrator PIX firewall. Until vpnc existed, corporate employees were often relegated to connecting to their company's network via a Windows machine or with Cisco's problematic VPN client for Linux. Thankfully, those days are over, but not without slight configuration effort.

I need to know how to establish VPN connection with Cisco VPN using vpnc on Centos 5.6. I can start the connection but after a period of time the vpnc process doesn't exist in the process list when run

Could You please tell me how to add needed privileges to my user to manage ne

Okay - I have tried lots of different options on this. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and have vpnc running through the nice Network Manager GUI.

The problem is that my university is fairly backwards in terms of offering LINUX support.
