Hmmm ok > > But imho, this has nothing to do with this "bug". Well I think we have to things here, first hte missing cert file and second the usage of the id line. > If you have a conn with a broken > leftcert= pointing to a non-existing file, it can't work. Well true but in one of the last mails you said that this cannot be considered a bug per se as you told me that one could copy the cert in after adding but before starting the connection, so negating to add the connection without an existing certificate is not an option for you. > It cannot grab the id from > the cert since the cert is not there.

Sorry but I see the point the user tries to make and as without users software won't be used i guess we should try to find some kind of solution? > It needs a much better explanation of > how it can "work". And "work" should be more then "loads the conn that has no > chance of > ever working" Please look above I guess the pseudo code is just how it worked. Btw, how is it supposed to work to later add the cert to the conn when the id cannot be determined at the time of adding the conn? > > Paul Harald -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
