To follow on my issue: I was near my password expiration date (I had 2 days left). When I connected with OSX it asked me if i wanted to change my password (the VPN client did). So when I was at work, I changed my password. Now, I have no problem logging in with my Ubuntu machine. I suspect that the linux VPN client isn't able to handle the "do you want to change your password" message from the server and disconnects.
