Mac OS X 10.6 VPN configuration error after wrong password

The built-in VPN client in mac os x 10.6 annoyingly won't remember passwords. I have to type it in every time I connect. What's worse is that if I mistype it some how ruins the VPN client so that I can reconnect. When I try I don't even make it to the password prompt. I just get:
A configuration error occured. Verify your settings and try reconnecting
I manage to restart the VPN client by issuing this in a Terminal:
sudo launchctl stop com.apple.racoon
sudo launchctl start com.apple.racoon
After that when I try, I get to the password prompt and I'm able to reconnect.
