Thanks to off-line help from David Woodhouse, I uncommented the `set -x' line in vpnc-script and tracked the error to a call to `ip route'. A google search gave me the following clear (even to a complete n00b like me) diagnosis and fix to the vpnc-script. This fix (the regexp can be improved?) to the latest vpnc-script also works for me with openconnect v2.25: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/24/645 h. -- +--- | Hiroyuki Kawakatsu | Business School, Dublin City University | Dublin 9, Ireland.
