[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#550821: network-manager-vpnc-gnome: NM does not ask for password, dbus permission problem

[Torquil Macdonald Sørensen]

Package: network-manager-vpnc-gnome
Version: 0.7.1-1
Severity: important

I had problems with NM not asking me for VPN passwords, even though I had specified
that it should ask. There was a dbus-related error message in daemon.log for every
connection attempt. It was a known problem in ubuntu, and a patch has been supplied
there:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-vpnc/+bug/360818

The patch proved there in comment #3 fixes the problem by adding dbus priveliges,
by modifying /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-vpnc-service.conf

Best regards
Torquil Sørensen
