[Users] Question: linux/Sparc connected to Cisco (VPN)

Hi all,

to work from home I got a Sun Ultra1 System. The system is running SuSe 7.4
(kernel 2.4.14) and is connected to the internet via ADSL (T-DSL) without using
a DSL Router.

Under Windows we have to use the vpn client from cisco to establish the
connection.

This works!

Under Solaris/Sparc there is a Cisco vpn client as well, but due to a SW problem
the client doesn't work with pppoe ;-((

Because I am not really a friend of MS I tried to find other possibilities and I
came to the conclusion to install Linux on the Sparc Box and I heard that VPN
over pppoe should work with Linux?!
The problem is that there is no Cisco VPN client available for Linux/Sparc ;-(
Some articles in the News groups recommended Free/SWAN as a solution for that
problem.

SuSe 7.3 contains the Free/Swan SW, but I don't know how to configure my box.

My Config is:

xxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXX-------------------XXXXXXXXXXXX--xxxxx---------
Ultra1 ADSL-Modem Internet Cisco Router FW Intranet

On a Unix Box connected via DSL Router I have to use:

open_tunnel -d hme0 vpn-xxxxx.sun.com user-id_at_vpn
Then I have to enter:
Shared key for user-id_at_vpn:
PAP Authentication secret:
RADIUS Password:

Does anybody know if I can use Free/SWAN to connect to our Intranet and if yes
how has the config files looks like, that I can use RADIUS Authentification?

For any hints I would very appreciative

Best wishes,

Werner Hunsicker
