Description Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre 2009-09-18 13:40:17 UTC 
When importing .pcf files (or attempting to import a .conf with VPNC config), NetworkManager currently shows a very vague error message. Users currently need to run NetworkManager with --no-daemon or watch syslog messages in order to find out what went wrong in the import.

The error message should include "hints" about what went wrong in the import, such as which line was seen as erroneous, such as the error messages written out when running NetworkManager --no-daemon.

Please see the Ubuntu bug regarding this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-vpnc/+bug/324939
