Comment 56 for bug 93413

The vpnc patch pointed out by TomasHnyk (thanks for the pointers!) is actually a better solution than I'd proposed -- allowing users to configure the DPD timeout with a default value of 300 seconds, rather than a hard-coded timeout. Setting the timeout to 0 disables DPD. Much cleaner.

I wonder if that could be rolled into the 06_stolen_from_head.dpatch since that is where the DPD code from HEAD is included in the Ubuntu package. I may well take a look at that this afternoon if I get the time. Incorporating such a change into network-manager-vpnc should be relatively trivial.
