/o\ seems I missed to look at your email address.
That said, I know that Dan Williams (NM upstream) is eager to get this feature
into NM. Feel free to join #nm on freenode or the upstream devel mainling 
list[1].

Can I please have a daemon that monitors if vpnautoconnect works correctly?  
perhaps vpnautoconnectmonitord? And then that one needs to be kicked 
occasionally if the user changes the configuration, so we add another daemon 
for this 

I would really strongly prefer if nm got fixed for all cases where it 
currently doesn't work.  If automatically connecting to VPN connections 
currently is not in network manager, this should certainly be implemented 
there, and not as a separate daemon.

TBH I'd rather see that implemented as part of NetworkManager itself. Using a
separate daemon for this looks wrong to me.
VPN autoconnect is definitely on the TODO list of NetworkManager [1] and
upstream would be happy to help with this effort.
Please communicate this to the author of vpnautoconnect, maybe he is interested
in joining the NM development and implement it in NM proper.

Cheers,
Michael

vpnautoconnect is a daemon that allow you to reconnect automatically
(at startup too) a vpn created with network manager. It can reconnect
very quickly and monitor the bandwidth, It works with pptp and
openvpn connections.
