Description of problem: I've got NM/NM-vpnc/vpnc all installed and working well except when I'll try to create a VPN connection and enter an incorrect password, next VPN connections are also trying to use the incorrect password, i.e., NM does not ask for a password (pw is not saved in keyring). After a reboot the password is queried again and I can then use VPN. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vpnc-0.5.1-5.fc9.i386 NetworkManager-vpnc-0.7.0-0.7.7.svn3627.fc9.i386 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a VPN connection for NM, verify that it works with correct pw 2. Disconnect VPN, then initiate a new VPN connection with incorrect pw 3. Notice how all subsequent attempts fail with NM complaining "The VPN connection 'MyVPN' failed because the VPN service stopped unexpectedly." Actual results: NM does not ask for password for VPN. Expected results: NM asks for VPN password. Additional info: In /var/log/messages I have: May 29 19:33:07 localhost NetworkManager: <info> Starting VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc'... May 29 19:33:07 localhost NetworkManager: <info> VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc' started (org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc), PID 5142 May 29 19:33:07 localhost NetworkManager: <info> VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc' just appeared, activating connections May 29 19:33:07 localhost NetworkManager: <info> VPN plugin state changed: 1 May 29 19:33:07 localhost NetworkManager: <info> VPN plugin state changed: 3 May 29 19:33:07 localhost NetworkManager: <info> VPN connection 'MyVPN' (Connect) reply received.

+1. This is pretty bad.

Is this still an issue with latest SVN versions (svn4022 and later)?
Unfortunately, it is still a problem. I'm now using NetworkManager-vpnc-0.7.0-0.11.svn4175.fc10.i386 and reproduced as follows: 1) Boot & login 2) Connect to your local network 3) Create the VPN connection with valid password, see how it works 4) Tear down VPN 5) Try to create the VPN connection with invalid password, see how it fails 6) Try to create the VPN connection, no password asked, and connection fails
I'm seeing this as well. If the VPN connection fails to start, then it remembers the password for the retry, even though it may not be valid any more; subsequent attempts will also fail. If the connection succeeds, then it forgets the password and re-asks for it on the next connection as it is supposed to.
Probably a dupe of bug #429287 ?
Perhaps; it looks similar. I don't have a problem with it remembering passwords once a connection has been made and disconnected, only if the connection is never made in the first place. But it could be a slightly different manifestation of the same bug.
