We use Quest for accessing Windows and Linux systems by vendors.

Subject: [SECURITY] remote access for linux clients

We are currently looking into options for connecting remote linux users to servers located on our internal network.  In 
the past we have utilized firewall translations to allow direct access, but are looking to for a solution which 
utilizes a more secure encrypted connection.  We currently use a Cisco ASA for VPN connections for our windows and MAC 
users, but the last version of a linux client was released over three years ago.  So there doesn't look to be much 
support in this area.

Thank you
