Harold,

Thanks for trying out the VPN client. You will need to run the iked process
( Internet Key Exchange Daemon ) as root on the machine. This daemon runs
in the background and actually handles the IKE communications between your
host and the Juniper gateway. The GUI front end utilities just offer a
simple means of passing communication information to the iked process. On
systems that support SYSV init scripts, you can copy the iked script from
the /script directory ( distributed with the source code ) into your
/etc/init.d directory and give it exec privilege using the chmod command.
Afterwards, you just run '/etc/init.d/iked start' to start and
'/etc/init.d/iked stop' to stop the process.

Hope this helps,

-Matthew
