Hi,
Thanks for all the extra packages - much appreciated.
One of the things I think Kubuntu/Ubuntu most lacks right now is a nice graphical tool to set up a VPN connection. I found such a unified graphical client for KDE called KVpnc online at:
http://home.gna.org/kvpnc/en/index.html
and this looks pretty much perfect for the job. I think all the apparent dependencies already exist in universe (vpnc, OpenS/WAN, racoon, pptp-linux, OpenVPN, etc.) - it just needs someone to create a new package for Ubuntu.
There's also an OpenVPN applet for Gnome - looks quite useful but has less features - see:
http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=875
In any case, having KVpnc in Universe would be great as my University now uses Cisco VPN's in some areas.
