Re: NetworkManager, Vpnc and Centos 5.3 Problem.

[Michel Leunen <ml leunen com>]

Hi Abdullah,

I got the exact same problem with my Ubuntu 9.04. I reported it here 
some days ago but received no solution yet.

I can connect using vpnc but not through NetworkManager.
When I look in the log file /var/log/daemon.log, I see that 
NetworkManager reports an error plugin:

May 30 11:17:38 LinuxPC NetworkManager: <info>  VPN plugin failed: 1

This have no meaning for me so I hoped someone here could help me.
