VPNC for Ubuntu Edgy works out of the box.

Install contents of this file attachment:vpnc.conf as /etc/vpnc/default.conf. Change username from jahicks to your own.

Edit /etc/resolvconf/interface-order, putting nokvpn* before eth*

    jamey@hex:~/nokia$ cat /etc/resolvconf/interface-order
    # interface-order(5)
    lo.inet*
    lo.dnsmasq
    lo.pdnsd
    lo.!(pdns|pdns-recursor)
    lo
    tap*
    nokvpn*
    eth*
    ath*
    wlan*
    tun*
    ppp*

    sudo vpnc default
