Description

It seems that it is only a USE flag for the current stable vpnc package, and has an explanation that should trigger a match if you got that error: """ hybrid-auth: Enable hybrid authentication (certificates), only if not redistributed as compiled binary """ So if you have an error telling that it can't do hybrid mode, the USE flag might be a quick first guess to enable. It isn't always needed (otherwise it wouldn't be a USE-flag trigger nor mandatory) but I'll ask the maintainer to make sure ;-) (In reply to comment #0) > Add to the description that it is important to compile vpnc with the > hybrid-auth USEflag. A noob like me had to google for a solution when > getting the message 'vpnc was built without openssl: Can't do hybrid or cert > mode.' Or isn't that necessary in some cases? It is not always necessary as there is a credentials-only mode for Cisco concentrators. Thanks; I've added in a blurb about validating the USE flags and gave a mention about the vpnc message as an example. |
