Public bug reported: Each time I reboot, I need to recreate the /var/run/vpnc directory. I am using the GUI based network-manager setup to connect to VPN (which works perfectly). However, I think that the nm-vpnc-service-vpnc-helper is not recreating these directories.
The erstwhile vpnc-script (http://svn.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/vpnc/trunk/vpnc- script.in) had the following lines to take care of this: # some systems, eg. Darwin & FreeBSD, prune /var/run on boot if [ ! -d "/var/run/vpnc" ]; then mkdir -p /var/run/vpnc fi Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 10.10 Release: 10.10 Codename: maverick Package: vpnc Status: install ok installed Priority: extra Section: net Installed-Size: 276 Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com> Architecture: amd64 Version: 0.5.3r449-2 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.8), libgcrypt11 (>= 1.4.2), libgnutls26 (>= 2.7.14-0) Recommends: iproute Suggests: resolvconf Conffiles: /etc/vpnc/example.conf e79bf2129aa0b8f81fcdf9643be0e68c /etc/vpnc/vpnc-script 9a27455502a6fd248148469dcfd0bf42 Description: Cisco-compatible VPN client vpnc is a VPN client compatible with cisco3000 VPN Concentrator (also known as Cisco's EasyVPN equipment). vpnc runs entirely in userspace and does not require kernel modules except of the tun driver to communicate with the network layer. .
