Quoting Jeremy Visser (jeremy@visser.name):
This is false, unless proven otherwise.
You know, I really had no idea that several people were going to glom
like
shark-hungry ramoras onto a half-remembered guess regarding an entirely tangential subject that I threw casually into a thread where I was _actually_ attempting to make the point that various open-source client packages are often able to connect to even badly designed and implemented crypto gateways mandated by inept and hapless managers. The first name that leapt to mind happened to be OpenVPN, rather than OpenSWAN, strongSWAN, n2n, (formerly) FreeS/WAN, just the Linux IPsec stack by itself, or what-all. But the point was that what's available in that department often suffices. (The point was not which one of those I happened to mention.)
I know it sucks to be wrong, but it sucks even more to be googling and come across wrong information on a mailing list archive with no follow up posts to correct it. I've heard a few people say before that "OpenVPN and Cisco work well together" and such misinformation helps nobody. James
