[Thinstation-developer] vpnc package

[Jeremy P. <p.e...@gm...>]

Greetings,

I've created a ThinStation package for vpnc, which will allow you to
connect to a Cisco VPN concentrator. It works rather nicely for me.
I'm planning to submit the package as soon as I finish polishing it.
However, I've run into a snag.

I want the vpnc init script to run right after /etc/init.d/network and
right before /etc/init.d/network_files. Easy enough, I've created a
symlink at /etc/rc0.d/S06vpnc.

The VPN connection is successful, but then there is a call to
get_hostname() (which calls restart_dhcp()) in
/etc/init.d/network_files that re-initializes eth0, resolv.conf, etc.
This seems to break the VPN connection. My question is: is that
function call really necesary at that point? I'm not sure what it
accomplishes. I could move the vpnc script to run after
/etc/init.d/network_files, but it would be nice to be able to use scp
to fetch configuration files over the VPN connection.

Anyone understand what I'm talking about?

Thanks,

Jeremy
