Description John Ellson 2011-07-07 15:41:13 UTC
Description of problem:
(This is likely a dup of bug #566112, but that bug was reported against Fedora-14 and I can't see how to change the version in bugzilla.)

When I try to import a working vpnc conf file from /etc/vpnc/default.conf
I get "permission denied" errors.   I hope I'm not expected to login as "root" to do this?

When I cp to $HOME, chown, and try again I get a popup:

   Cannot import VPN connection

   The file 'default.conf' could not be read or
   does not contain recognized VPN
   connection information

   Error: unknown error.

The file contains (sanitized):

   IPSec gateway X
   IPSec ID X
   IPSec secret X
   # your username goes here:
   Xauth username X


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-0.8.9997-5.git20110702.fc15.x86_64
NetworkManager-vpnc-0.8.999-2.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. (nm-applet) -> VPN Connections -> Configure VPN... -> Import
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Cannot import VPN connection

Expected results:
Able to import any vpnc conf file that works for vpnc
