ipsec-vpn connect issue

[Wendell MacKenzie <mackendw sympatico ca>]

Hi:

  I've setup the following components on SUSE 10.0:

NetworkManager-0.5.1cvs20060107-2
NetworkManager-vpnc-0.5.0cvs20051102-3
NetworkManager-glib-0.5.1cvs20060107-2
NetworkManager-devel-0.5.1cvs20060107-2
NetworkManager-gnome-0.5.1cvs20060107-2

ipsec-tools-0.6.3_turnpike-1.i586.rpm
novell-vpn-20060113.tar (make + make install worked fine)
turnpike-0.1.0-22.i586.rpm

I then restarted networkmanager in /etc/init.d and relaunched the nm-applet.

All good so far...

Then I configured our Corporate Nortel Switch in the VPN Configuration 
menus in the nm-applet menus, saved it and tried to connect.

Here is what shows in /var/log/messages:

Any thoughts on debugging this?  I have Apani's netlock client working 
no problem...but they are SLOW at keeping pace with new kernels ...

The nortel switch uses Group ID authentication with an RSA token which 
I've setup in my connection profile and in the menu at connect
time.

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,
Wendell
