FWIW, /tmp and /var have always been symlinks to /private/tmp and /private/var in OSX and I think the boot process recreates them if absent (though I can't remember where).

no idea simos. And thanks for that Nathan… at least I know the cisco client didn’t totally bork everything.

I’ve given up even trying too much to get on the vpn. It annoys me to no end, and even dies quite often on OS X.

pptpclient works for me well. It is currently available on Debian/Ubuntu, though it would be good to have proper pptp-style VPN support in Network Manager.

Does Cisco VPN client use pptp?

I have cisco-vpnclient-0:4.6.03.0190-0.duke.1.fc4.i386 that is known to work (as long as your connection is stable, otherwise it’s woefully unreliable). If you ask very nicely, I’ll let you have the .nosrc.rpm. :)
