Package: vpnc Version: 0.5.1r254-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch pcf2vpnc generates one space too many on the Domain line. This makes the authentication fail. Indeed vpnc is strict on spaces in its file format: "Note that all strings start exactly one space after the keyword string" (README.gz file).
For instance the following pcf file --------------------------- [main] Host=1.2.3.4 AuthType=1 GroupName=VPN GroupPwd= Username=john UserPassword= enc_UserPassword= NTDomain=MyDomain DHGroup=2 --------------------------- produces the following Domain line : "Domain MyDomain" Here is a patch that fixes the problem (and may require rewriting by a perl expert) : --------------------------- --- /usr/share/vpnc/pcf2vpnc 2007-10-18 10:50:26.000000000 +0200 +++ pcf2vpnc 2007-12-16 16:33:51.000000000 +0100 @@ -80,9 +80,15 @@ sub writeVPNC($) { my ($config) = @_; my $text = "## generated by pcf2vpnc\n"; + my $itemname; foreach my $section (keys %$config) { foreach my $item (keys %{ $config->{$section} }) { - $text .= "$section $item ".$config->{$section}{$item}."\n"; + if (! $item eq "") { + $itemname = " $item"; + } else { + $itemname = ""; + } + $text .= "$section$itemname ".$config->{$section}{$item}."\n"; } } unless (defined $config->{Xauth}) { ----------------------------- Regards, -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) (ignored: LC_ALL set to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages vpnc depends on: ii libc6 2.7-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcrypt11 1.2.4-2 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr Versions of packages vpnc recommends: ii iproute 20070313-1 Professional tools to control the ii resolvconf 1.37 nameserver information handler -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
