retitle 567458 fails to connect to any VPN system connection: 'No VPN secrets!'
thanks

It seems that this problem is not for PPTP connections only, but for
all type of VPN connections that were made available to all users.
I've tested PPTP and openvpn only because I don't have access to other
types of VPN.
To make it work again it has to be done in two steps:
1) uncheck 'available to all users' and save;
2) edit again and add the password.

Attached are the corresponding lines from syslog.

Thanks
