I am using a version of the vpnc plugin that has been recompiled with
certificate support (detail at <http://www.publishing.ucl.ac.uk/roamnet.html>)

As noted in the original report I can connect using the command line vpnc-connnect. The
problem is that NM cannot be used. The location of the certificate file and the
Group password are included in my /etc/vpnc/default.conf. ( I am also able to connect with these argument on the command line.) It would appear that
NM does not use this and entering the GroupPwd in the NM dialogue does not work

No I cannot connect using NM even with the GroupPwd and entered in the NM dialogue . Of course that may be that NM isn't finding the cert [1], but the result of the export/import test suggests that both cert and GroupPwd are
being ignored or mishandled.

[1] I only have one example VPN to test, and that requires a cert.
