Once vpnc supports this via 1019888, the vpnc plugin shouldn't pass the password over the command line, but use standard input instead.
We don't pass anything over cmd line, what exactly do you have on mind?
These parts of VpncUiPlugin::importConnectionSettings() in vpnplugins/vpnc/vpnc.cpp: else if (!decrPlugin->readStringKeyValue(cg,"enc_UserPassword").isEmpty() && !ciscoDecryptBinary.isEmpty()) { // Decrypt the password and insert into map decrArgs.clear(); decrArgs << decrPlugin->readStringKeyValue(cg,"enc_UserPassword"); decrPlugin->ciscoDecrypt->setProgram(ciscoDecryptBinary, decrArgs); decrPlugin->ciscoDecrypt->start(); if (decrPlugin->ciscoDecrypt->waitForStarted() && decrPlugin->ciscoDecrypt->waitForFinished()) { secretData.insert(NM_VPNC_KEY_XAUTH_PASSWORD, decrPlugin->decryptedPasswd); } } … else if (!decrPlugin->readStringKeyValue(cg,"enc_GroupPwd").isEmpty() && !ciscoDecryptBinary.isEmpty()) { //Decrypt the password and insert into map decrArgs.clear(); decrArgs << decrPlugin->readStringKeyValue(cg,"enc_GroupPwd"); decrPlugin->ciscoDecrypt->setProgram(ciscoDecryptBinary, decrArgs); decrPlugin->ciscoDecrypt->start(); if (decrPlugin->ciscoDecrypt->waitForStarted() && decrPlugin->ciscoDecrypt->waitForFinished()) { secretData.insert(NM_VPNC_KEY_SECRET, decrPlugin->decryptedPasswd); data.insert(NM_VPNC_KEY_SECRET"-flags", QString::number(Knm::Setting::AgentOwned)); } } The password-equivalent is passed over the command line to the cisco-decrypt program.

Nope I haven't tested it... I kinda assumed the cisco-decrypt binary already supports it
