    after I run this:

    Code:
    pcf2vpnc cisco.pcf > cisco.conf
    In the past, all I did was take the contents of my .pcf file and copied the contents of it to the cisco.pcf file. But, for some reason this time out, it's not working. The rest of the instructions are pretty much straight forward.

    Also, are there any other files and directories I should know about and their contents? I am aware of the files files that reside in /etc/vpnc and /usr/bin. Are there anymore directories I should be aware of? Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Does your configuration use certificates?

    I suggest using vpnc if possible, with it you can import the pcf without the compiling and stuff.

    Hello ubuntu collective,

    Can anyone tell me where this is on my system?

    This is the set of instructions that seem to confuse me.

    * Go to windows vpn profiles directory and convert .pcf files to .conf files
    The only directories that I've found after following the instructions up until the instructions make mention of what I quoted above are both:

    /etc/vpnc --this contains vpnc-script and example conf

    and of course the

    /usr/bin --this currently contains both the cisco-decrypt and the pcf2vpnc

    From my understanding, isn't the cisco-decrypt file suppose to generate a cisco.pcf file, which I am to replace with my own .pcf file. I just want to get the complete understanding of this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Best Regards,

    freesparks
