   Do you have any idea of what I am doing wrong?
   Thank you!

   It worked now. My problem was the wireless connection. Vpn worked fine with your patches, after I fixed the wireless.

   Hi Mike,

   I haven’t ever seen that error. My guess is that the client’s module is not compiled correctly. Try the following: go into the install directory of Cisco vpn and run “sudo ./vpn_uninstall && make clean && make”. See if make throws any error then fix it.

    For some reason, vpnclient 4.8.02.0030 insists on opening the (personal) certificates files read/write after it has lessened its privileges from ‘root’ to ‘nobody’. Of course, this fails and prevents connection.

    This is most probably an oversight, since vpnclient does not seem to write to the files – they should be opened read-only.

    Workaround:
    chown nobody /etc/CiscoSystemsVPNClient/Certificates/*
