F5vpn-login
f5vpn-login is a client for F5 VPNs written by the admirable James Y Knight, a fellow ITA Software employee.
While I enjoy all of the wonderful benefits of his VPN tool, it needs a bit more polish in the UI department so I created a few files to help out.
First off you should download the core F5 VPN software
Next download my additions which include a wrapper script, an icon of my own creation, freedesktop.org menu item & an RPM .spec file. My Makefile should also be downloaded and used instead of his.
Now that you have everything, you'll want to compile & install the package by running make :
make
If you're running Mac OS X run make mac-install :
make mac-install
If you're running Linux, just run make install :
make install
If you're running a freedesktop.org desktop environment you should see the VPN installed under network utilities. You can drag that icon to a taskbar for easy access.
Click it and you'll be prompted first for your username & then the VPN server you're connecting to. From now on those two values will be saved as the default until you elect to change them.
