Please note that going to a random web site and entering your VPN's 
group password is a *really bad idea*.  Better to use the utility whose 
source code is posted on that website.

In somewhat related news, I hear that NetworkManager is able to run vpnc 
and use the .pcf files directly.  Anybody try that?
