Cisco VPN S/W Client 4.6.02 on Fedora Core 3

Cisco VPN S/W Client 4.6.02 on Fedora Core 3

[Ed]

Hi Folks,

I'm trying unsuccessfully to get the Cisco Linux VPN software 
client (4.6.02) working on Fedora Core 3.  Here's what I see:

---
% vpnclient connect myprofile
Cisco Systems VPN Client Version 4.6.02 (0030)
Copyright (C) 1998-2004 Cisco Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Client Type(s): Linux
Running on: Linux 2.6.10-1.770_14.rhfc3.at #1 Fri Mar 4 11:34:31 
EST 2005 i686
Config file directory: /etc/opt/cisco-vpnclient

Initializing the VPN connection.
Contacting the gateway at 1.2.3.4
Secure VPN Connection terminated locally by the Client
(...the client stalls for a bit here...)
Reason: Remote peer is no longer responding.
There are no new notification messages at this time.
---

I suspect it may have to do with the following message I saw only 
once in /var/log/messages:

Mar 29 11:20:07 myhost wait_for_sysfs[6670]: either 
wait_for_sysfs (udev 039) needs an update to handle the device 
'/class/net/cipsec0' properly (no device symlink) or the 
sysfs-support of your device's driver needs to be fixed, please 
report to <linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>

My udev package is completely up to date.  How do I fix this 
problem?

Thanks,
Ed

No, this isn't a problem, you can safely ignore it.

Update the udev package?  I do not think that 039 is the latest version.

thanks

Thanks, Greg.  I upgraded to udev-039-10.FC3.7, and I see no 
additional wait_for_sysfs log message, but no joy either:

There are no new notification messages at this time.

Other ideas?  BTW, vpnc to the same destination works.  I'm not 
knowledgeable enough to say if that means it is unrelated to 
linux hotplug stuff...
