Re: VPN problem

[Michel Leunen <ml leunen com>]

Hi Dan,

Here is what I got:

$ sudo /usr/lib/network-manager-vpnc/nm-vpnc-service
** Message: <info>  vpnc started with pid 17912

/usr/sbin/vpnc: noninteractive can't reuse password

** (process:17889): WARNING **: <WARN>  vpnc_watch_cb(): vpnc exited
with error code 1


Did this help you to understand what's going wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Michel
