[Vpn-help] DHCP over IPSEC problems

[Bryan Washer]

Anyone,

 

  I have started to try and get the shrew client working within my
fortinet enterprise installation.  I have quite a number of remote VPN
users that are connecting to Fortigate F60's.  I have been looking at
the Shrew client to provide VPN client access for my Linux users.  This
is where I have run into a couple of issues.  

 

1.        If I connect with a Debian installation everything works fine.
If I use a RHEL 5 installation I get an error "Unable to bind to DHCP
socket" and it hangs at "bringing the tunnel up".  If I reconfigure the
client to use a static IP address then it connects and everything works
fine.

2.       Sometimes when disconnecting the VPn client it hangs with the
following message "unregister_netdevice: waiting for tap0 to become
free. Usage count=1" and never clears up.  Again this is on RHEL 5, and
I have not heard of this problem on the Debain system.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  If you need any additional
information or testing done please let me know and I will get it for you
as soon as possible.

 

Thanks for any help you can give on this matter....I have quite a few
linux users that would love to have this and stop using their virtual
windows machines to connect to the office.
