Package: network-manager-openvpn
Version: 0.3.2svn2855-1
Severity: serious

Hey there,

After today's openvpn upgrade I found out that network-manager is not working 
anymore. When trying to connect it sends back : The VPN Login failed because 
the VPN program could not connect to the VPN server

syslog shows the real error : 

Aug 14 11:22:21 astunix nm-openvpn[7877]: openvpn_execve: external program may 
not be called due to setting of --script-security level
Aug 14 11:22:21 astunix nm-openvpn[7877]: script failed: external program fork 
failed

'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn', signal 'ConnectFailed', with message 
'The VPN login failed because the VPN program could not connect to the VPN 
server.'.

Solution for openvpn client is simple by adding script-security 2 to 
/etc/openvpn/client.conf but I couldn't find no documented way to configure 
network-manager openvpn... maybe in 
/etc/NetworkManager/VPN/nm-openvpn-service.name ?

Anyway I return back to using the daemon in the meantime.

Thanks in advance
LeTic
