Hi there!

I'm sorry that I can't help you with your specific problem. I just HAVE
to comment your statement: "Seems Gentoo in fact isn't the distro for
real work. :("

Blaming Gentoo for a single, eventually problematic ebuild - especially
a Cisco package - is simply quite unfair. In fact I wasn't even able to
get this very VPN client running stable under Windows. I was just
relieved when I finally got rid of that junk crawling through registry
settings since not even the uninstaller worked as expected.

Aside from that I am quite sure that this packages is pretty much
outdated anyway. The latest available VPN client software should be v4.6
instead of v4.0.5. But according to Cisco's license policy I wouldn't be
surprised if you won't be able to get an ebuild for that.
