Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: vpnc

vpnc 0.5.1r275-1 on Hardy beta asks for the Xauth password even when
it's in the conf file. 0.5.1 compiled from http://www.unix-ag.uni-
kl.de/~massar/vpnc/ works correctly.

Example with 0.5.1r275-1:
-------------------------------------------------
snafu$ (cat vpnc.conf; echo 'Xauth password 5...2') >|vpnc-1.conf
snafu$ sudo vpnc ./vpnc-1.conf
Enter Username and Password.
Passcode for VPN rkh@<snip>:  (type same 5...2 password as above)
VPNC started in background (pid: 26942)...
snafu$ sudo vpnc-disconnect 
Terminating vpnc daemon (pid: 26942)

Example with 0.5.1 from source:
(same technique has been used since 0.3.3)
-------------------------------------------------
snafu$ (cat vpnc.conf; echo 'Xauth password 5...6') >|vpnc-2.conf
snafu$ sudo ./opt/vpnc/vpnc-0.5.1 ./vpnc-2.conf
VPNC started in background (pid: 28048)...
snafu$ sudo vpnc-disconnect 
Terminating vpnc daemon (pid: 28048)


For both examples, vpnc.conf contains:
IPSec ID <snip>
IPSec secret <snip>
IPSec gateway <snip>
Xauth username rkh
