Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has managed to install the Checkpoint
SecureClient under AMD64 at all?
I just started a new job this week and need remote access for when I'm
on call, and I have a VPN token and need to use the Checkpoint client.
Unfortunately, they only supply RedHat 7.2/7.3 software, and there's
lots of warnings and errors when I alien the package.
I'm currently running Sid, but am considering going back to Sarge
because I don't get the time to do all the updates any more.
However, a deciding factor is if I have to do a dual boot with XP so I
can use remote access...
Any ideas greatly appreciated!
You really should only need the openswan package. the 2.6 kernel has a
native ipsec stack, so you don't even have to compile extra modules. I
have used openswan against a checkpoint router with success, although I
suppose it would depend on the configuration being used on the
checkpoint.
