That line came from the output of "vpnc --long-help". Other things to look at are the vpnc(8) manpage, the /usr/local/share/doc/vpnc/README file, and the TODO file in /usr/ports/security/vpnc/work/vpnc-0.4.0. There's more detail of what I think is going on in this thread: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2009-January/020638.html By the time you get it working again, you will probably have learned more about the workings of vpnc than you really cared to know :) > The FW guys at the office aren't exactly forthcoming where non-MS > windows is concerned, you see.., Not surprising :( Too many security types act as if obscurity helped security, not realizing that it inconveniences only their customers and not their enemies. Any chance they would be willing to say what config change they made on their end about the time it stopped working, without reference to what is running on your end? Another thing to check is whether your ISP changed something.
