Comment 54 for bug 93413

James,

I second that. On purpose, I left the description of the newly opened network-manager-vpnc bug open as open can. I think this config stuff should handled in a more general way by the UI part and its plugins, and not by vpnc itself.

And yes, it might happen that certain config options are not available in the gui, albeit included in the underlying command line tool. I'm pretty sure that this happens not only here. However, I don't see a real problem for vpnc here.

I would suggest to disable it DPD until a UI config option is available, regardless when this will be the case. Rendering vpnc useless for many people just for the sake of UI consistency doesn't sound sensible to me.
