<font face="Arial">With Matthew's help, I now have the Shrew Soft
client v2.0.2 working reliably with a PIX501 running PIX release 6.3.
The configs for both the PIX and the client are attached below in the
hope that they'll be useful to others.<br>
<br>
The setup is as follows.<br>
</font>
<ul>
<li><font face="Arial">PIX protecting single inside net of 172.17/16.
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Arial">VPN clients are assigned addresses from
172.18.0/24<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Arial">PIX external address is 1.1.1.2<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Arial">PIX's main function is handling remote client
VPN connections from the outside (e.g., PIX does not provide dhcpd
service for inside machines, router-router tunnels, ...)</font></li>
<li><font face="Arial">auto policy config for the client from the PIX
for split tunnel, split DNS and inside topology</font></li>
<li><font face="Arial">per-user VPN access usernames and passwords
locally authenticated at PIX using XAUTH</font></li>
</ul>
<font face="Arial">The only two parameters that need to be changed in
the client config are the following.<br>
</font>
<blockquote>
<pre><font><font face="Arial">s:network-host:1.1.1.2 [change to your PIX's outside address]
</font></font><font><font face="Arial">s:auth-mutual-psk:PreSharedKey [change to the vpngroup password from PIX]</font></font>
</pre>
</blockquote>
<font face="Arial">Good luck!<br>
