Thanks Dan,
  Sometimes, for some reason I do not understand, the rsa authentication needs to resync 
tokens so it asks for a second token.

Also the NetworkManager-vpnc seems to cache the password for a while.  If I try to 
reconnect, it just tries to connect, but the password is a time sensitive rsa token.  I 
have to edit the vpn connection, just hit apply, then try to connect.  It prompts me for 
the password then.  I do have selected only "keep group password on keyring".

Thanks.  Can't wait for the updates.
