** Description changed:

  /etc/vpnc/ should be chmod 700
  and
  /etc/vpnc/default.conf should be chmod 600
  
  Otherwise if you run vpnc without sudo you get a not so helpful error
  message like this:
  
      vpnc: Error binding to source port. Try '--local-port 0'
      Failed to bind to 0.0.0.0:500: Permission denied
  
  After changing the permissions as I suggested, you get a more helpful
  error like this:
  
      vpnc: couldn't open `/etc/vpnc/default.conf': Permission denied
+ 
+ I'm running Linux Mint 17.1.
+ My vpnc version is:  0.5.3r512-2ubuntu1
