Hi all,
I'm trying to install the Any Connect client (v.4.4.01054) on Arch Linux, which by default does not have the SysV folders.
The script I'm using is 'anyconnect-linux64-4.4.01054-core-vpn-webdeploy-k9.sh', however it fails with:
Extracting installation files to /tmp/vpn.Zy8PyJ/vpninst278561381.tgz... Unarchiving installation files to /tmp/vpn.Zy8PyJ... install: cannot create regular file '/etc/rc.d/vpnagentd': No such file or directory
Looking at script code, it's looking for a init location, however that is no longer supported in Arch:
# Locate the init script directory if [ -d "/etc/init.d" ]; then INITD="/etc/init.d" elif [ -d "/etc/rc.d/init.d" ]; then INITD="/etc/rc.d/init.d" else INITD="/etc/rc.d" fi
I'm wondering Cisco has a different version of the installer that supports Arch?
Thanks,
Victor.

An update on this... I had installed the 'openconnect' package and tried using a CSD script I found online... and that did not work.
After posting here I tried installing 'networkmanager-openconnect' and configuring the VPN in the network settings (using the same CSD script) and it worked.
My issue is solved.
