Description Patricio Jeraldo 2006-07-28 13:00:03 UTC

This patch fixes the way vpnc reads passwords from the standard input. Currently it is not possible for vpnc to get the password from a pipe, with the effect that external programs cannot use vpnc (e.g. kvpnc). This patch fixes this issue.

For a complete description, see Debian bug #378316 here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=378316

Patch is to be applied to vpnc-0.3.3
Please consider this patch for inclusion.

I can add this, but did you contact upstream about it?
Is this project dead upstream?

Upstream said this fix is wrong/unneeded and kvpnc is already fixed to handle that.
