In case of changes/updates to ppp, you will need to re-run chmod -v u+s /usr/sbin/pppd.

NOTE: It seems that when quitting netExtender, it doesn't restore the /etc/resolv.conf that was present before starting it (hence it will still keep using the DNS settings of your VPN). Disconnecting and reconnecting with NetworkManager does the trick. (Not the mantainer's fault but rather upstream)

Could you put the version in the source file to be unique (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#source), for instance: source_x86_64=("NetExtender-${pkgver}.x86_64.tgz::"https://sslvpn.demo.sonicwall.com/NetExtender.x86_64.tgz")

Hi, with this latest upgrade there's an extra comma after the links to the NetExtender .tgz files that causes a 404 error unless removed, otherwise the package builds correctly.

Here is a pastebin for the newest version of the netExtender: https://pastebin.com/e8EB66ng

@physkets: can you adopt it please?

There is a new version, 9.0.803 under the same source links. Could You please update the pkgbuild?

NE stopped working for me; it hangs while trying to connect and eventually times out. I've tried all the troubleshooting options but permissions seem right, .sh files are in the right place and so on. Maybe another update is causing trouble? Anyone else having this issue after NE was working for a while?

Can you add a check for the 'arch-release' file using a pre_install() function in an accompanying .install file? It is essential for the shell scripts to be used.

if [ ! -f /etc/arch-release ]; then
    touch /etc/arch-release
fi

Also, why aren't the corresponding /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ files created? Are they not required?

The u+s method + reboot is it.

Odd, I just did the u+s method and it worked fine. Can anyone else confirm this is an issue?

"To allow non-root users to use NetExtender, run chmod -v u+s /usr/sbin/pppd" doesn't seem to hold true right now for me- netExtenderGui still returned "pppd: must be root to run pppd, since it is not setuid-root" after logging in. To add normal normal users for execute I had to: # chown root /usr/sbin/pppd # chmod 4755 /usr/sbin/pppd Then I was able to use NetExtender without root. 7.3: http://web.mit.edu/linux/redhat/redhat-5.2/i386/doc/FAQ/html/PPP-FAQ-7.html
