Hi all,

As in the subject - has anyone managed to get a FreeBSD machine to connect
to a Cisco VPN server, using IPSec and 2-factor authentication (password +
SecurID card)?  My employer has been acquired by another company, and this
will soon be the only remote-access method available.  Linux client
software exists, but given that it relies on a kernel module I'm not
holding out much hope of it working.  The security/vpnc port looks like it
might be useful.  No idea if racoon + FreeBSD native IPSec can be persuaded
to do the SecurID authentication.

I would try all these things myself, except I don't have any account
details for the server yet.  I really don't want to keep a Linux or Windows
machine around just to connect to the office...

Many thanks in advance,

	Scott
