[vpn-help] Works under win 7, doesn't under ubuntu.

[Allen Klein]

The profile (running Shrew on Windows 7) we’re using connects the tunnel and we can ping resources at the remote office, behind the firewall. However on Ubuntu, after I got through all the compiling (there were things that needed to be installed to get to the end of the compiling process, so that I no longer got errors), iked doesn’t seem to want to load, as witnessed after doing a ps -ax and greping for the ike process —which was MIA. However the gui comes up and I entered my user name and password. I sent a screenshot of this. I get the failed to attach to key daemon. I found Matthew’s response:

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.

However, I still can’t get beyond that failed to attach to key daemon. I’m running Ubuntu under Parallels 9 on my Macbook Pro. A colleague is running ubuntu natively and can connect, but can’t ping on the remote side. Again, it works under Win 7 with the same profile I imported into ubuntu last night. Any ideas? We’re under a schedule and I’ve reached a gridlock on this.

Thanks! (pasted terminal text from ubuntu screen below + pdf of gui’s output.
