Hi all! First: If this is the wrong place to ask about the VPNC plugin, please tell me to sod off and maybe leave a hint on where else to ask ;-)
After upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04, I am now using NetworkManager 0.6.6 with nm-applet 0.6.6, and according to aptitude, I have network-manager-vpc 0.6.4svn2422-0ubuntu5 vpnc 0.5.1r275-1 I am running a Cisco PIX501 at home which does not support DPD (and probably never will). Now I am affected by this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-vpnc/+bug/206000 The currently installed vpnc supports disabling of the DPD feature: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ vpnc --long-help [...] --dpd-idle <0,10-86400> Send DPD packet after not receiving anything for <idle> seconds. Use 0 to disable DPD completely (both ways). Default: 300 conf-variable: DPD idle timeout (our side) <0,10-86400> [...] Assuming that network-manager-vpnc is "using" vpnc behind the scenes, is there a way (a config file, perhaps?) to make the VPNC plugin set/unset this parameter? (I am no programmer - just a user...) I know that DPD configuration should be possible on a per-connection basis, as some VPN configurations will require DPD to be active - while others might not. There have been suggestions to use older versions of network-manager-vpnc or different versions of network-manager altogether, which is not what I'd like to do. For now, I'd be happy if I could enable/disable network-manager-vpnc's DPD globally. Can this be done? thanks & best regards Marc _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
