Re: [PLUG] openvpn on fc12

[Carl Johnson <cjohnson19791979@gmail.com>]

ok got it sorted. i'm an idiot. thanks everyone. turns out i was editing the config file in gedit and not saving the changes. seems as though the "tun0" change fixed it. 
i proved that by running 

[root@cjohnson openvpn]# openvpn --rmtun --dev tap0

Sun Jan 17 22:00:18 2010 TUN/TAP device tap0 opened
Sun Jan 17 22:00:18 2010 Persist state set to: OFF

before testing it again. i'm going to drop back to the user account and try again in a minute.



[root@cjohnson openvpn]# more roadwarrior.conf
tls-client
pull
dev tun0
proto udp
explicit-exit-notify 2
tun-mtu 1500
remote obfu.sca.ted
pkcs12 roadwarrior.p12
cipher BF-CBC
comp-lzo
verb 3

ns-cert-type server
port 1234
log-append /tmp/openvpn.log
[root@cjohnson openvpn]#

well.. shit. okay, not giving up yet.

wondering if ovpn is suid.

ls -l `which openvpn`


p.s. can you add:
verb 5
log-append /tmp/openvpn.log

to the client conf, and then paste the log file after it runs here? i
have a sneaking suspicion that it's quite possibly another issue that's
not entirely related to permissions at all, despite the error message.

OH! and yum info openvpn would be a HUGE help, too

i'll maybe load up a fedora 12 VM tonight and see if i can replicate the
issue and maybe develop a fix/solution for it.
