NM-vpnc doesn't yet support the RSA secureID tags.  We'll be doing this
soon (post 0.7) but at the moment, we cannot handle the
challenge/response very well.  There are patches in Fedora to "only save
the group password in the keyring" which you might be able to use, but
upstream we'll fix this in a better manner.
