Hi guix,

i am trying vpnc(vpn client), when i launch the command creates the 
daemon but not the interface or link and displays the message:

Command:
  sudo vpnc myvpn.conf

Message:
  sh: /etc/vpnc/vpnc-script: No such file or directory
  sh: /etc/vpnc/vpnc-script: No such file or directory
  VPNC started in background (pid: 1765)...

looking for on the net and as a workaround I followed the steps, and 
Works!:

a) Download the script from 
http://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/vpnc-scripts.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/vpnc-script
b) Copy to /etc/vpnc
c) Set execute permission(chmod 777 vpnc-script)


Thanks

Is it normal to set the permissions to 777? I'm not familiar with this
program but that seems too open to me.

You're right, with 500 works and is safer. Thanks.

I looked at our package definition (gnu/packages/vpn.scm) and it is
supposed to provide that file in ~/.guix-profile/etc/vpnc/vpnc-script.

I think it's a bug that this isn't working for you. Are you using Guix
on another distro or GuixSD?

I use GuixSD, and the file .guix-profile/etc/vpnc/vpnc-script has link 
to /gnu/store/....-vpnc-0.5.3/etc/vpnc/.vpnc-script-wrap-01

It’s this file that is used, not /etc/vpnc/vpnc-script.

Are you sure you were using vpnc from Guix?  Our package recipe has
always had vpnc-script in /gnu/store/…/etc/vpnc.

I am sure, it is required to export additional variables?.

Under vpnc installation directory: 
"/gnu/store/7jiivzdyzkhcl9ryn2c1x91vplw8nkf5-vpnc-0.5.3/etc/vpnc", there 
are only the following files:

- default.conf
- vpnc-script -> 
/gnu/store/7jiivzdyzkhcl9ryn2c1x91vplw8nkf5-vpnc-0.5.3/etc/vpnc/.vpnc-script-wrap-01
- .vpnc-script-real
- .vpnc-script-wrap-01


Thanks

So is there any problem left?  :-)  I’ve used it recently (via
openconnect) and it works well for me, and I don’t have /etc/vpnc.
