VTUN on new intel MacBook JohnRHarlow 03-01-06

Hi:

I've been running vtun for years between linux boxes. I've recently
acquired a new intel based mac and I've constructed the Tun/Tap kernel
driver w/out errors and loaded it into the kernel. I've also built and
installed vtun 2.6 (w/out lzo and ssl.) I'm not to concerned about the
lzo and ssl since I tunnel thru a compressed SSH connection.

I cannot get the connection to succeed however (even in testing w/out
ssh tunnelling.)

My simple connection entry in the client vtund.conf looks like this:

macBP {
type tun; # IP tunnel
proto tcp; # UDP protocol
compress no; # Compression is off by default
encrypt no; # Encryption
keepalive yes; # Keep connection alive

passwd xxxxxx; # Password
up {
# Connection is Up
ifconfig "%% 192.168.61.2 192.168.61.1 ";
# IP address will be assigned by the server
};
}

Linux server side is the same except IP's are reversed and ifconfig cmd
is slightly different for linux.

In /var/messages on the server I see (I changed IP addr to X's; it was
the correct addr):

Feb 28 16:23:12 boss vtund[4996]: Reloading configuration file

XX.XX.XX.XX:54168
Feb 28 16:23:37 boss vtund[9846]: Denied connection from
XX.XX.XX.XX:54169


Both ends are running vtun 2.6. Other vtun clients connect to this
host w/no problem.
The connection name and config matches at both ends.

Looking for help.

Thanks
John

I've fixed the problem. I found and built and installed the lzo-1
libraries and installed the 2.5 PPC binaries for vtun.

Works like a charm
