NetworkManager vpnc failure

[Eric Brunson <brunson brunson com>]

Hello all,

I've had my vpnc connection working for many months with NetworkManager 
and it continued to function after upgrading from Fedora Core 6 to 7, 
but about a week or two after the upgrade (and I'm not sure if there was 
a NM update during that time) it started failing.

I've reviewed the web and the list and seen similar messages, but none 
of the recommended fixes seem to work or apply in my case.  I've also 
made the cursory checks that vpnc is in an expected location, and that 
it runs successfully stand-alone.

What little I get in syslog is attached.  Obviously, the first thing to 
do is get better debugging.  The search on the list is down, is there an 
easy way to up the debugging level on the call to vpnc?  Any quick tests 
anyone can suggest for me to check out?

Thanks,
e.
