I agree. > How did you install/run the applet? 1) I visited the web page I was pointed to to set up the VPN client. Using Firefox 3.6.11 (64-bit) provided in Fedora 13. 2) I used my username and password to access the web site. Unfortunately, I cannot give my credentials to you. 3) The web site then started, automatically, to "detect" my system, install a Java applet, and then connected me to the VPN. It had a nice shiny Cisco logo at the top of the page. I was prompted if I wanted to run a Java applet, which I said yes. That was the only prompt I received. The /opt/cisco/vpn/bin/vpnagentd program was installed after allowing the java applet to run. All of the date stamps in /opt/cisco are today's date. I have never installed anything cisco-related before on this machine. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
