After installing the .deb package, you'll get 2 processes running: root      6793 0.5 0.1 662044 17936 ?        Ssl 18:33 0:00 /opt/paloaltonetworks/globalprotect/PanGPS etj       6814 0.5 0.0 340624 15348 ?        Sl 18:33 0:00 /opt/paloaltonetworks/globalprotect/PanGPA start   (where "etj" is my login user. )   The PanGPA process is started in the "postinst" script, so I guess it won't survive a reboot. If PanGPA is not running, I get the "Cannot connect to local gpd service." error.   I had some issue running the "globalprotect" program as root, but it worked perfectly as user etj.   Also, I had to change the MTU of the gpd0 interface, since it prevented me to connect via ssh to a remote machine (search for "SSH2_MSG_KEX_ECDH_REPLY mtu" should you get this kind of error).   So: 1) make sure PanGPA is running, together with PanGPS 2) run the globalprotect as the same user running PanGPA      Cheers,    Emanuele ...
