Bug Description
Binary package hint: kvpnc
openvpn includes a new security feature that prevents by default the execution of external scripts. When kvpnc runs openvpn, and openvpn has been configured to execut external scripts such as the resolv.conf updater, openvpn won't connect. To enable openvpn, kvpnc should add the "--script-security 2" args as was done for network-manager, to preserve backward compatibilty.

I can confirm this problem.
The problem is caused by an incompatibility between the version of openvpn and kvpnc provided by intrepid. To be able to work with the current version of openvpn, kvpnc >= 0.9 is required. This means, that the problem should be fixed as soon a newer version of kvpnc is uploaded.
PS: I've been working with kubuntu intrepid for two months now, ignoring a great number of problems, but this problem has finally convinced me to return to hardy for now. *sigh*
