I am trying to connect to a PIX (v 6.3(5)) using the latest version 
(2.1.4) of Shrew Soft VPN client.  I have followed your HowToCiscoPix 
guide as an outline, but still cannot connect.  I get this message:

config loaded for site 'mysite'

attached to key daemon ...
peer configured
iskamp proposal configured
esp proposal configured
client configured
local id configured
pre-shared key configured
bringing up tunnel ...
gateway authentication error
tunnel disabled
detached from key daemon ...

The log shows:

Other possibly useful info:
  Client: XP, SP2
  Differences from HowToCiscoPix example:
    - using DES, not aes-256
    - am using Radius, not Local authentication
  The Cisco VPN client works fine.

Thanks very much for any assistance.
