You have to call up Sify Customer Care and tell them to let you login through Linux. They will ask you for the kernel version and then within a couple of hours or so you will be able to login using sifyconnect.Admin: Please put this info in post #1 for people who encounter this issue (I did too when I first installed it 2 years ago)
