Hi all,
I have a machine that runs as an openvpn server. It works fine; the VPN
stays up.
However, after running for a while, I get these repeatedly in syslog:
I don't know if anyone's watching, but ...
It appears that this happens when logrotate restarts openvpn. I just
have "systemctl restart openvpn-server@ovpn2" in my postrotate section
in the logrotate config.
I've seen other people recommend using 'copytrucate' instead of
restarting openvpn, and others suggesting that openvpn should be
configured to log via syslog, or that it should just log to stdout, and
init (systemd) can then capture it.
I'm not sure what's the best option here - and I still don't know why
restarting it causes this failure.
