Bug Description
Binary package hint: vpnc
When I try to establish a Cisco VPN session using vpnc, the connection is never successfully established. I imported the connection's .pcf file (which other people are using with their Cisco client) into network-manager, however I cannot get the connection up.
This is the output in /var/log/
