Sorry for replying to this post instead of the original, however I
deleted it.

I am able to run the Netlock client under FC1.  However I have NOT been
able to get it to run on the FC kernels.  I downloaded the latest RH9
kernel and kernel source and installed that.  It works perfect under
RH9's kernel.  I guess it is something in the FC kernel that Netlock
doesn't like.  I have the RH9 kernel and FC1 kernel install and just
reboot into the RH9 kernel if I need to VPN into work.  It is not the
best solution.  However you could use the RH9 kernel full-time over the
FC1 kernel.

It would be nice if a newer Netlock version came out that supported FC1,
though I won't hold my breath : )
