In Fedora's Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=403661 No action since I filed it last November. I have to run vpnc by hand on those connections where DPD is an issue. See also http://www.ces.clemson.edu/linux/f8-nm-iwl3945-B.shtml The other vpnc features that it would be good to be able to configure are NAT traversal mode selection and IPsec obfuscated secret support. > thanks & best regards > > > Marc > > > -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs
