[CentOS] vpn client setup/plugin
I'm trying to find the correct vpn plugin so I can vpn in to a server. The server requirements are vpn server, username/password and shared secret. I've installed a few vpn plugins, but I haven't found the correct one that has the shared secret option. Anyone know which one it is? I've tried a few from the Add/Remove Software application.

After a brief effort, I didn't get it to work. I downloaded the emacs-24.2 SRPM from Fedora 19. Trying to compile it with rpmbuild gave me several errors about missing dependencies. I was able to install nearly all of the ones complained about from the CentOS repositories. The only one left was liblockfile-devel, so I downloaded the liblockfile SRPM and compiled and installed it and its -devel without error. So I again attempted to compile the emacs-24.2 SRPM, but apparently the version of autoconf (2.63) in CentOS was too low (the emacs SRPM expected 2.69), which caused the build to fail.

Re: [CentOS] What gui to use for syslog-ng logs?
When I was searching for something simillar, I red that syslog-ng plays well with https://code.google.com/p/enterprise-log-search-and-archive/ . They have how-tos and configs there specifically for that. There is also Elasticsearch. Greylog2. There are also more simple GUIs, but I doubt they will do great when searching through gigabytes of data. If you try these, please share your experiences, in using/configuring them campared to Splunk.
