I am new to the mailing list. I have a question I'm hoping someone can
answer. I currently use the Cisco VPN Client on Ubuntu to connect to a VPN
network. I would rather migrate to VPNC instead. I tried using it via
Ubuntu's network manager. I says it connects and then fails shortly
after. I then attempted it directly using the vpnc executable. It gets
all the way through the login process to where it displays the banner, but
then I believe it gets stuck on the "Do you wish to continue? (y/n):"
prompt. The Cisco VPN Client displays that prompt and allows you to answer
it. VPNC never displays that prompt and I believe it is stuck and doesn't
know what to do with it.
Has this issue been brought up before? If so, is there an existing fix or
technique to handle the situation? If not, do you think it would be an
easy code enhancement? I am a C/C++ developer. I don't claim to be great,
but I could look into researching a fix if one does not already exist.
What are your thoughts? I appreciate any assistance. Thank you.
