Use SystemStarter to restart system services
Authored by: jford00 on Oct 05, '05 02:00:48PM

Installing Cisco VPN 4.6.01 on OSX
Installed fine
Open Cisco VPN Client
Get error "Error 51: IPC socket allocation failed with error fffffffffffffch. This is most likely due to the Cisco Systems, Inc. VPN Service Not Being Started. Please Start the Service and Try again"

Open Terminal window
sudo SystemStarter restart CiscoVPN

now it is asking for a password?
I've tried the admin password, what gives?

Use SystemStarter to restart system services

I'm having the same problem. The Cisco VPN client works exactly one time before producing this error on the next attempt to secure a VPN. Anyone have some thoughts. I can uninstall/re-install and everything is fine, for one attempt, but this is an absurd solution.

I found this hint:

sudo /System/Library/StartupItems/CiscoVPN/CiscoVPN restart

Which seems to restart some aspect of the VPN, but I won't really *appreciate* doing this each time!
