for those who wants use vpnc and converting cisco .pcf configuration file to vpnc config file, whatch for this pitfall. because of my impatient to setup vpnc on my brand new debian etch, i copy and paste decoded enc_GroupPwd from cisco vpnclient password decoder. and that’s true as suggested in that mailing list conversation, there are trailing spaces that caused me an ISAKMP_N_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED(24):

back in late 1999/early 2000, it was pre RedHat 6.0 era, and i’ve been using RedHat 5.2 for almost a year. my RH 5.2 was heavily patched, i upgrade almost everything to become 6.0, even libc recompiled to statisfy some depedency. Gnome 1.0, was still in the very early stage of appearence, Enlightenment was already on 0.16.3 (currently it’s still 0.16.7.2 on my Ubuntu). i put my notes (in Indonesian) on them in my personal site called eworld, and yes, it’s dead now. too bad i don’t keep them, it was lost from my documents when i changed pc several times. i have contacted my former provider to beg for the archive, but they said they didn’t keep it. i feel terrible because i think it is a prove of my desire to blog in the era (i don’t recall term blog ever heard that day).
