Hi,
Has anyone had any luck getting Nortel's Netlock VPN client working in
Fedora Core 1? The supplied RH8 SRPM builds & installs fine, but once
it's installed (not even running), my network is dead, and the start_cvc
command can't connect to http://127.0.0.1:9161 like it's supposed to.
Jim Drabb sent an e-mail to the list back in November asking this very
question and didn't get a response -- I tried e-mailing him directly but
the mail bounced... Jim, if you're out there, did you ever get this
working?
Sorry for replying to this post instead of the original, however I
deleted it.
I am able to run the Netlock client under FC1. However I have NOT been
able to get it to run on the FC kernels. I downloaded the latest RH9
kernel and kernel source and installed that. It works perfect under
RH9's kernel. I guess it is something in the FC kernel that Netlock
doesn't like. I have the RH9 kernel and FC1 kernel install and just
reboot into the RH9 kernel if I need to VPN into work. It is not the
best solution. However you could use the RH9 kernel full-time over the
FC1 kernel.
It would be nice if a newer Netlock version came out that supported FC1,
though I won't hold my breath : )

There's another post above in the list that indicates you can use a
2.4.21 custome kernel from kernel.org with FC1 and it works great. The
changes that broke were introduced into 2.4.22 and backported to FC1,
RHEL3 and SuSE 9 implementations of their 2.4.21 kernels. Something
added to skbuff.h threw everything off.
