Public bug reported:

network-manager-vpnc:   Installed: 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu1
Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS

When attempting to connect to a Cisco VPN using RSA soft token, the
connection fails with a cryptic "failed to connect". This configuration
has been working for months with no issues.

When connecting on the command line with the correct configuration
entered into the /etc/vpnc/defaults.conf we see the following:

~$sudo vpnc
Enter password for [email protected]:
Enter your new Access PIN, containing 8 to 8 digits
                                 or
'x' to cancel the new PIN procedure:

At which point entering a new password, twice for verification, will
exit with a successful change notice.

After this change has been made, both vpnc and network-manager-vpnc will
connect as per usual procedure.

Possible solutions:
1: It would be beneficial to simply notify the user of the password change 
being required. In order for this to work, and the user to make the change, the 
user would have to first correctly configure the /etc/vpnc/defaults.conf
2: Pop-up prompts to allow the user to complete the required change.
