I find openvpn much more reliable than NM, to put it mildly. NM usually works for me, but on the occasions when it does not it is a nightmare. A recent addition to the NM farce is the appearance of a little window in the middle of the screen, I think entitled "Secrets", which asks me to enter a password but unfortunately rejects any input (ie I cannot write in the space provided). If I press on Cancel the window simply re-appears, endlessly. In my view, the apparent decision to allow NM to play a central role in communication in Fedora is a serious error. I wish NM would concentrate on its primary task, namely to facilitate WiFi. > And there is > a /lib/systemd/system/openvpn@.service so you have to manually creeate > a /etc/systemd/system/openvpn@<yourconfigname>.service and enable that. > Have a look at the vncserver service file for some details Thanks. I'll certainly have a look. But I'd have to say that while VNC is not in the same class of horror as NM, I've always found it problematical to use, particularly when looking at a Windows machine. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
