Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager-vpnc
Running:
~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu hardy (development branch)
Release: 8.04
And using network-manager-vpnc_0.6.4svn2422-0ubuntu5 along with
vpnc_0.5.1r275-1, I attempt to log into my company's vpn concentrators.
After about 5 seconds, I get the following error:
VPN Connect Failure. Could not start the VPN connection 'XXXXXXXX' due
to a connection error. The VPN login failed because the VPN program
could not connect to the VPN server.
I stopped Network-Manager and started it manually so I could look at the
output. Here it is. Sensitive information has been "X'd" out.

'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc', user_name 'xxxx', vpn_data 'IPSec

After running vpnc manually, I found out that it is prompting like so:
~$ sudo vpnc example
Enter password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Passcode for VPN [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Connect Banner:
| Blah blah blah...Legaleze.
Some more blah.
|
VPNC started in background (pid: 6705)...
:~$ sudo vpnc-disconnect
Terminating vpnc daemon (pid: 6705)
If I leave the password prompt blank, then enter my passcode at the
passcode prompt, I am able to connect.
Notice in the output from Network Manger, it also prompts for
"Passcode", but never recieves a prompt as the dialog has already and
sent it's information to the password section.
After a little more digging, apparently to allow passcode authentication
in one shot, you need to use the "Xauth Interactive" option. I do not
see any option to allow this in gconf nor in any notes or settings
within Network Manager VPNC plugin.
Seeing as I don't see anything on this upstream, I will file there as
well.
