Still the F-8 vpnc has a number of protocol-related issues, such as login failures not being reported. It throws a D-bus "failure" signal that nobody catches (which seems redundant with the state_change signals). Or the "lock" icon sometimes not showing up when it's supposed to be. I was looking into that code recently, but didn't really know how the pieces were meant to fit together. Any guidance would be helpful, so I can work on a patch. _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
