Hello list,

Although I have achieved to connect the other end of my VPN, I'm seeing
something strange when running vpnc on my laptop, depending on what's in
my configuration file, and I couldn't find a trace of such a problem
being reported. Please note the differences in the config file in the
following two attempts:

# cat /etc/vpnc/foo.conf
IPSec gateway XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
IPSec ID MyDistantSite
IPSec secret Oxdeadbeef
IKE Authmode psk

# vpnc foo
Enter username for XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX: Yyyyyy
Enter password for Yyyyyy@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX: ZzZzZzZ
[...]
VPNC started in background (pid: 5023)...

(ping test, everything's fine, then disconnect)

# cat /etc/vpnc/bar.conf
IPSec gateway XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
IPSec ID MyDistantSite
IPSec secret Oxdeadbeef
IKE Authmode psk
Xauth username Yyyyyy
Xauth password ZzZzZzZ

# vpnc bar
Password for VPN Yyyyyy @XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX: ZzZzZzZ
Password for VPN Yyyyyy @XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX: ZzZzZzZ
no response from target

and there was a one minute timeout before the last line was printed. I
have also tried that with the obfuscated password option, which fails
the same way. Is this a known problem?
