syslog messages for reconnect attempt
same problem for me the password is made by a dedicated pocket calculator it was working perfectly in FC7 but in FC8 with : vpnc-0.5.1-2.fc8 NetworkManager-vpnc-0.7.0-0.6.3.svn3109.fc8 NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.6.6.svn3138.fc8 I can connect to VPN only once ! Same problem for me. Password is generated by a Safeword Platinum device from Secure Computing and is usable only during a short period. If I encounter any problem after connection, I am unable to restart vpn if I don't close my session then open a new one. We need an option in NM-vpnc to clear all previous settings before to reconnect. My configuration is : vpnc-consoleuser-0.5.1-2.fc8 vpnc-0.5.1-2.fc8 NetworkManager-vpnc-0.7.0-0.6.3.svn3109.fc8 At this time severity for this bug is low. In my humble opinion it should be high or at least medium. This still isn't working properly. I've raised the severity for this bug to high. This is a problem that any user connecting to a system with changing passwords will hit this on a regular basis. Yeah, I'm burned by this bug on a *daily* basis. I remember digging pretty deep into the code for this, but it's a missing feature more than a bug. It's going to be tough to get DanW to back-port a fix for this to F-8 I'm afraid... This bug opened since months is really boring : most times I close my session at by job is to reopen it to work arround this bug.... Why you dont include in NetworkManager menu an option "Clear all vpn settings" ? Using this option it will be possible to start a new vpn connection without have to close current session and reopen a new one. what about Fedora 9 ?

If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. I installed svn4326 from koji on both fc9 and fc10 and it work fine: it is possible to reconnect after disconnect. The only "problem" is that it is necessary to delete et recreate the VPN connections after installation. This should be documented somewhere. This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping (In reply to comment #17) > I installed svn4326 from koji on both fc9 and fc10 and it work fine: it is > possible to reconnect after disconnect. > > The only "problem" is that it is necessary to delete et recreate the VPN > connections after installation. This should be documented somewhere. Hmm, that shouldn't be the case. Can you describe a bit more what happened and what the symptoms were that caused you to have to delete and recreate them? Did the connections just not show up in the menu? When just after installation of the new version and reboot I tried to connect to all previously defined connections, all tries failed as if I did not provide the correct password. I deleted all previously connections, recreated them and after connections work fine.
