Hi,
no ideas?
What I want is, that vpnc connects to my vpn-server without having the vpnc-gui open all the time.
Bye

You have to set the settings in a file in /etc/vpnc
#sudo gainroot
Put the first 4 lines to match the connection details... in the file below. You can swap test.conf
#vi /etc/vpnc/test.conf
IPSec gateway the.address.or.ip.of.server
IPSec ID group.name.given.to.you.by.administrator
IPSec secret group.password.given.to.you.by.administrator
Xauth username your.username.given.to.you.by.administrator
From a root-shell you can then run:
#vpnc test
To close the connection
#vpnc-disconnect
#sudo gainroot

I have the group name, but the group password is secret and won't be given me by admins. I have a .pcf file though, in where the secret password is stored. Does anyone know how I can "load" this file into vpnc to make a connection workable?
Thanks!
EDIT: The password is stored in the file as an encrypted password.

I've just installed vpnc from extras devel
copied my old /etc/vpnc.conf from laptop to /etc/vpnc/vpnc.conf on n900 and
run with "sudo vpnc vpnc". too easy to be true.
of course, no vpnc-gui installed.

is there any way to make the status bar icon of the vpnc gui more eye candy?? the present icon doesn't look nice..
I thought vpnc-gui just to be a frontend, but actually vpnc only works if the gui is started.
I configured vpnc to connect automatically, when i'm on 3g online and not to do it on wifi, as t-mobile limits my connection.
But vpnc only connects, if vpnc-gui ist started. Is there a way to start it by a daemon automatically?
Thanks,
MPW
