Anyone has experience creating a IPSec tunnel between:
- cisco router and Windows 2003
- cisco router and Linux
?

Shouldn't be any problem, setup your cisco vpn as normal using the cyrpto map, and then use freeswan for linux and the ipsecurity policy for windows. Sometimes with older versions of swan the tunnel has to be initiated with traffic from the linux side fyi.

Just a quick search and here are the first guides I've found.

Be forewarned, it is a pain on windows, as thier interface is goofy. Config files would have been much easier.
