They did indeed, back in the days of Solaris 2.6. Their client is Sparc only though.
The thing is you don't necessarily need client software to implement a VPN using Cisco gear. I myself, am currently implementing a very small scale VPN (L2TP over IPsec, LAC initiated dialin remote access) and the only "client" software I've needed so far is OpenSolaris's PPPoE client. Even that part may be removed from the equation at some point in the future. OpenVPN under Solaris might work for you, _if_ you're willing to finish the port... I've tried that avenue first, despite the fact that you can only transport TCP over it and I ended up buying a Cisco ISR, so that I could go the IPsec route without too much trouble. There's also vpnc (http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~massar/vpnc/) I haven't tried it but it seems that development/maintenance of that project stopped several years ago. While researching this topic, I also came across http://dynamicproxy.livejournal.com/53689.html. I didn't investigate on this any further. Best of luck with your project. Francois PS: It works much better when you have identified exactly what kind of traffic needs to be protected and _where_! -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
