[vpnc-devel] have to type password twice now

[Joerg Mayer]

Hello PHil,

after your patch that introduced NEXT_PIN support SecurID users needed to
enter a password that was not evaluated before being allowd to enter the
passcode. So I committed a small patch that fixes that problem but I don't
have any way to test whether next-pin mode still works.
Is it possible for you to test this?

Thanks
       Joerg

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
