A workaround for Cisco VPN Client (Mac OS X) “Error 51″

The Cisco VPN client 4.7.00 (0510) mostly works for me on OS X 10.4.4, but I get “Error 51″ sporadically and I used to have to reboot to stop it, but now I took a tip that I found on VersionTracker and did a slight tweak to the command so that the cvpnd process daemonizes silently to the background and you don’t have to remember to keep restarting it:

launchd -d /bin/sh -c \
"while [ 1 ]; do /private/opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/cvpnd; done"

Although hopefully Cisco will solve the problem so that we don’t have to resort to hacky solutions like this.
