Installed NetworkManager-vpnc Then went in to th applet menu VPN Connections -> Configure VPN There I click "Add" and entered the config settings for the RH VPN now I close out of that Back on the NetworkManager applet, I'm expecting to see the new connection name there (Red Hat VPN). However I don't, its not listed. Now I go back to Configure VPN and see that the Red Hat VPN settings are there (so it didn't forget about it). Consequently I couldn't get it to use/enable this VPN config. Then I rebooted and things worked fine: the "Red Hat VPN" now appears under "VPN Connections". This bug is to note that the initial time you create a new connection config the applet can't use it until its restarted.
Looks like you have to restart the NM daemon.
This is also true of NetworkManager-openvpn.
Taking ownership.
Restarting NetworkManager service doesn't help me here. Maybe related to my x86_64 installation, but anyway -- NM-vpnc just doesn't work me at all.
Matej, this on fc-6 or fc-7 ?
fc-6 daily updated
Reassigning to NetworkManager (could somebody change the component to NetworkManager ? can't seem to be able to do it). The FC-6 version of NM needs a bunch of patches. This looks like a bug in nm-applet. As far as i can see, nm-vpn-properties adds the right fields to gconf.
