| [X] Cisco VPN client (v 4.7.00.0510) installer warningAargh, *bleep*ing Cisco...
I'll figure out how to file an official bug report, but in the meantime, beware:
If you already have stuff in /opt (say, DarwinPorts, for example), the installer in Cisco's latest VPN client apparently does a
cp -R /opt /private/
rm -rf /opt
ln -s /private/opt /opt
to make the world look like they thought it should (it was taking a _long_ time to install, and 'fs_usage' showed cp to be the culprit). Unfortunately, you'll note that it was a "cp -R", not "cp -Rp", so all ownership, permissions, and timestamps have been lost. I had to restore my DarwinPorts tree from my last full backup and do a 'port selfupgrade; port -a upgrade' to cover the last few weeks of changes.
What a waste of time. *grr*
Oh, and it still doesn't seem to handle dns search domains right. :-( |

Dallas, TX | Wow! Thanks for that warning....
Why would ANY vendor think it was okay to do that?
