Re: NM-vpn no vpn secrets

[Ferry Toth <ftoth telfort nl>]

I am on Karmic.

Actually if a try  multiple times to connect after 3 attempts (or so) it
will connect.

Tried the suggestion below, but Karmic also does not use libexec. I have
no idea how to start up the service on Karmic. Any suggestions?
