[Bug 360818] Re: NetworkManager.vpn fails -- nm-vpn-connection.c.900: NeedSecrets

[Niall Brosnan]

I am seeing it on a fresh install of Karmic with openvpn configuration from Jaunty.
Recreating the connection with my original keys makes no difference.

Adding at_console permissions to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-openvpn-service.conf 
 as described above by Patrick Healy for vpnc  on 2009-04-18 fixes the issue for me for now.

His solution for vpnc applied to openvpn followed by a restart removed the problem.
A new bug has been opened specifically for openvpn in karmic as bug number 453807,
but it appears to be the same behaviour whichever vpn plugin is in use.

I believe that this patch was backed out as an insecure fix, but can't find the correct fix just now,
so forgive me for posting unprepared - I just needed my connections back up asap.
