I just got the 4.6 version of the Cisco VPN client working on SuSE 10
this morning and was able to successfully connect to a remote
(SecurID-using) network.

I may be forgetting something, but I think the major steps were:
1. tar xzf vpnclient-linux-4.6.02.0030-k9.tar.gz
2. cd vpnclient
3. sudo ./vpn_install
4. sudo /etc/init.d/vpnclient_init start
5. cd /etc/CiscoSystemsVPNClient/Profiles
6. cp sample.pcf somename.pcf
7. vi somename.pcf (configure it for your network)
8. sudo chmod 4111 /opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/cvpnd
9. vpnclient connect somename
10. (login with username and password)

Cheers,
Erin
