I would like to ask the group a question regarding a program VPN program called VpncGui 5.4.4 (by Juha V. Aalto) . The VPN setup which I am running requires the client to connect to the VPN concentrator while "disabling dead peer detection". VpncGui currently connects to the VPN with no problem, but after 5 - 10 minutes VpncGui disconnects since I cannot seem to disable dead peer detection in
VpncGui. VpncGu relies on Vpnc which is a command-line tool. This is done easily on the command line using "vpnc --dpd-idle=0".

I am wondering if I can somehow add the "--dpd-idle=0" switch to the VpncGui command line. Would this require recompiling VpncGui or perhaps changing a configuration file for VpncGui?

The source code appears to be available here at this address: http://maemo.org/packages/package_in.../vpngui/5.4.4/

Please be so kind to point me in the right direction. I have emailed the author of the program but have not received a response back.
