    I have the exact same problem! It's frustrating, because I can't even get past Step 0 to attempt the instructions described in this thread.

    Has anyone found a solution to this, or at least a satisfactory explanation?

    casuarina:
    Really Nice, this will help a lot of people.
    Someday you/we might make a .deb package of this and have in a repository maybe.

    Here are some improvement ideas...

    There is a sun-java6-plugin package If you add it I don't think you need the java plugin stuff (I never needed it at least)

    There is also an rpm package if this is installed you have a rpm tool and probably dont need the

    sudo ln -s /bin/true /usr/bin/rpm

    you get a few small packages that in this case is not needed but cleaner then a fake rpm.

    It would be nice if someone made a nice gnome/KDE front end to the ncscv tool. Is there a shell-calling-gui-toolkit that one could use, like ncurses but for gnome?

    I think you'll still need this, because the package name that the netconnect script looks for is the Red Hat package name and isn't the same as the Debian/Ubuntu package name. So, even if you have rpm installed that lookup will still fail (IIRC).

    Re: HOWTO set up Juniper Network Connect VPN on Ubuntu Dapper

    That is probably correct the RPM stuff seems to not be used in Version 1.1 of the scripts that I have... that why it worked for me

    Re: HOWTO set up Juniper Network Connect VPN on Ubuntu Dapper

    I've been reading this thread for some time now, thanks to the original information supplied by madscientist & more recently the script posted casuarina (it was useful to validate the manual steps) I now have Juniper VPN working on my Gutsy 7.10 installation.

    I do have one final question. In the information supplied by madscientist it suggests that i can reset (disable) my root password *but* every time i log into Juniper (which runs network connect) I am challenged for the root/su password (therefore i cannot disable root password - without compromising Juniper).

    I'm worried that by having su/root enabled is a security risk. Is there anything i can do to work around (and remove) the su/root challenge response from the Juniper network connect, so i can disable the root account?

    Gavin.

    Here's some information that may help diagnose my problem.

    The terminal style message i receive when starting network connect is:

    Code:
    /home/{username}/.uniper_networks/network_connect/installNC.sh: 9: cannot open 1: No such file
    /home/{username}/.uniper_networks/network_connect/installNC.sh: 9: 1: not found
    Service needs to be reinstalled.
    Please enter the root/su password.
    Password:
    I can confirm the file (installNC.sh) reported as missing (above) does exist prior to connecting to Juniper. A simple ls -l in the ./network_connect/ directory returns:

    Code:
    -rw-r--r-- 1 fowler fowler   1421 2007-11-10 08:05 installnc.log
    -rwxr--r-- 1 fowler fowler    716 2007-11-10 07:58 installNC.sh

    -rwxr--r-- 1 root   root     1632 2007-11-10 07:25 xlaunchNC.sh.back
    I thought perhaps the symbolic links were cause of the issue. I re ran the script supplied by casuarina, which reported:

    Code:
    ln: creating symbolic link `./libjavaplugin_oji.so' to `/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.03/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so': File exists
    ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/bin/rpm' to `/bin/true': File exists
    ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/lib/i686/cmov/libssl.so' to `libssl.so.0.9.8': File exists

    Re: HOWTO set up Juniper Network Connect VPN on Ubuntu Dapper

    As an after thought, I've been looking at the ls -l listing from the /network_connect/ directory (see previous post). Is there any issue with 'ncsvc' being owned by root? Could this be the reason why the 'installNC.sh' script logic reports 'the service doesn't exist' and forces me through a reinstall and therefore the su/root password challenge persists on every use of Juniper?

    These thoughts/ideas were realised after looking at the contents/logic of 'installNC.sh'. Apologies if this is newbe thought process

    Re: HOWTO set up Juniper Network Connect VPN on Ubuntu Dapper

    Hi Gavin Fowler,

    I got the same problem with root login prompt. I got rid of it by redefining the default shell (changed in Ubuntu 6.06 from /bin/bash to /bin/dash for performance).

    root@ubuntu-desktop:/# ls -l /bin/sh
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2007-11-11 07:37 /bin/sh -> /bin/dash

    root@ubuntu-desktop:/# rm /bin/sh && ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh

    I haven't made up my mind if I will keep it, or just live with the prompt, because if you hit ctrl-c, ENTER (or ENTER, n, ENTER) it will work anyhow.
