Mac OS X Snow Leopard adds support for Cisco IPSec VPN connections -- that is, plain IPSec with XAuth authentication and mode_cfg.
That makes it two layers of authentication: first, Machine Authentication with a password (Shared Secret) or an X509 certificate. Then a traditional username-password pair for XAuth, both of which you can enter and save in the Account Name and Password fields respectively when you set up the connection. Trouble is, even though you entered your password and it is apparently saved in the keychain properly, Mac OS X keeps nagging you to manually enter the password every time you connect. Turns out this is a just bug with a simple fix.
Open the Keychain Access Application, select the System keychain and find your saved XAuth password entry in the list. Its Kind field will say IPSec XAuth Password. Open it, then on the Access Control tab click the Plus button to add another application. The file we need to select, /usr/libexec/configd, resides in a hidden folder. To navigate there, press Command-Shift-G, enter /usr/libexec, then pick configd in the dialog. Save your changes and that's it -- your saved password should now work.

Editors Note: This works Great. |

Yes John, You can Clone your MAC Address on a PIX, Even on an 871.
To manually assign a MAC address to this interface, on the Advanced tab enter a MAC address in the Active Mac Address field in H.H.H format, where H is a 16-bit hexadecimal digit. For example, the MAC address 00-0C-F1-42-4C-DE would be entered as 000C.F142.4CDE.
If you use failover, enter the standby MAC address in the Standby Mac Address field. If the active unit fails over and the standby unit becomes active, the new active unit starts using the active MAC addresses to minimize network disruption, while the old active unit uses the standby address.
By default, the physical interface uses the burned-in MAC address, and all subinterfaces of a physical interface use the same burned-in MAC address. A redundant interface uses the MAC address of the first physical interface that you add. If you change the order of the member interfaces in the configuration, then the MAC address changes to match the MAC address of the interface that is now listed first. If you assign a MAC address to the redundant interface using this field, then it is used regardless of the member interface MAC addresses.

People typically like to either to use light text on a dark background or dark text on a light background. With the invert feature in OS X, the user can quickly jump from one to another. This is frequently nice when trying to use your MBP in direct sunlight. 
Come on, you are probably using a mac right now, so just try it.
ctrl+option+cmd+8
Hit it again to reverse the inverse.
