[VPN] RE: Windows to Linux VPN (was Re: VPN solution)

[Roger Qian]

Thanks for the information.
We're using a Windows RRAS PPTP for remote users (about 12 users) only. A
couple weeks ago, I configured PIX VPN. It worked fine, but the login
authentication is in PIX not with Windows 2000. When users logged in and
they cannot access Windows based file servers, because W2K file servers
check Windows authentication not PIX's.  How Linux do the authentication?
with Windows?

There are various ways this can be done, using various VPN
strategies. Which is best depends on your exact needs.

I expect there's an IPSec client for windows, it should be able to
connect to FreeS/WAN.

CIPE has a Windows version available.

I imagine something could be lashed up using ppp-over-ssh, or
socks-over-ssl, or other such hacks.
