Hello Dan, hello list, yesterday I upgraded my Asus eeepc from Fedora 9 to Fedora 10; fresh install, but fully updated using the updates repo during installation.
Just for fun I tried to set up a VPN using the openvpn plugin of NetworkManager, but I was rather disappointed finding out that there is a bug somewhere in Fedora 10: After importing an openvpn configuration file all options were shown correctly in the GUI, but after closing the GUI, a connection attempt failed. Examining the logs, I found that the "hmac auth" option was not set to MD5, just like before support for that option was added. When I try to edit this VPN connection in NetworkManager's GUI, then the "advanced" dialog comes up with the "hmac auth" option set to "default". I can change that to MD5 just fine, but after closing the GUI the connection fails with the same error messages logged. Opening the "advanced" dialog again in the GUI, it comes up again with "hmac auth" set to "default". On my desktop PC, which has Fedora 9 with all current updates, the openvpn plugin works as expected, i. e. openvpn VPN connections using MD5 hmac auth do work. I compared the latest SRPMs of NetworkManager and the openvpn plugin of Fedora 9 and Fedora 10, but they differ only in some build options referring to differences in libraries used by NetworkManager. So, my question is: Is this a known bug in NetworkManager or one of the libraries used by it? If not, what would be the best option to debug this?
