 I had troubles getting my VPN connection to work on MBP running Lion. As
 you surely know by now, original CiscoVPN client does not work at all on
 64-but MBP with Lion so VPNC is the only choice. My VPN gateway was Cisco
 1811, its IOS VPN (plus not very collaborative IT department ;) ).

 Authentication simply did not work, I have tried everything I could. I
 have tried VPNC on Linux (Ubuntu 11.04) and surprisingly it worked with
 exactly the same config file. Puzzled, I have recompiled manually VPNC on
 Linux and Mac and found that Ubuntu seems to be using the original vpnc
 0.5.3 AND a huge 217K+ patch to it. So I took this source code from
 Ubuntu, compiled it on Mac and almost instantly got my VPN working (had to
 force local port to 0 in the config file - I believe the default port 500
 was already used by native client).

 I do believe macports should have the vpnc source code updated with the
 same patch...these 217Kb are not only comments.

 This is where I have downloaded the source code from:
 http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/net/vpnc
