OpenConnect & Firefox in Ubuntu Linux

[Ben Kietzman]

David,

Yes, and I don't know why that didn't dawn on me before.  Our
corporate VPN requires it so I have to use it.  I have read about
setting up a wrapper script that establishes a chroot in which the
trojan can run.  I will do some research on that.
