... unless you're using NetworkManager or ConnMan, of course. Those each have their own alternative version that just passes the information back to NM/CM via DBus. The situation is exactly the same for openconnect which was designed to use a vpnc-script identical to vpnc's. When used from the command line, the vpnc-script is mandatory. To start with, distributions made the openconnect package depend on the vpnc package — but now they tend to have a separate 'vpnc-script' package which both vpnc and openconnect packages can depend on, so that you don't *have* to have vpnc installed. > I would like to pull all the fixes from your repository and I'm > checking all of them. > I have some concern about IPv6 patches. > So far vpnc doesn't have real support for IPv6.

No, not using vpnc. Only openconnect. But it shouldn't be particularly hard to make it work for vpnc too, if someone can set up a test server with IPv6. It doesn't even need to be *real* globally-routable IPv6; just site-local addresses where you can only reach the server and no further would be sufficient to test basic connectivity and setup. -- dwmw2
