Public bug reported: Binary package hint: vpnc
I'm using Hardy Heron, fresh Alpha 5 install with all updates. Before I reinstalled my OS, my VPN connection was fine. As wel as with the command-line of vpnc as with the network manager vpnc plugin, I could activate my vpn perfectly However, since the reinstall, I do seem to get a permission refusal when trying to connect to the vpn. When using vpnc to connect to a VPN network, I get the error: Failed to bind to 0.0.0.0:500: Permission denied Same with network-manager-vpnc: Mar 6 16:39:49 tim-desktop NetworkManager: <WARN> nm_vpn_service_stop_connection(): (VPN Service org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc): could not stop connection 'My VPN' because service was 2.

Last comment in another vpnc bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vpnc/+bug/179239, which is a different bug) seems the same to me.
