I prepared patched for proper systemd support which already have been committed to the upstream repository. So we have: * proper error handling (and service ordering) * option "daemon" is just ignored when started from systemd unit - so no more limitations here We will see the shiny new systemd units in our package. > Stumbled about another fact...

Any reason for that? This will change... So extra 'plugins/' has to be removed from relative paths in configuration. I built packages for 2.4_rc1 to give a preview... Feel free to test! ;) http://pkgbuild.com/~eworm/openvpn/openvpn-2.4_rc1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz http://pkgbuild.com/~eworm/openvpn/openvpn-2.4_rc1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz The news post will look something like this: <snip> The upgrade to openvpn 2.4.0 makes changes that are incompatible with previous configurations. Take special care if you depend on VPN connectivity for remote access! Administrative interaction is required: * Configuration is expected in sub directories now. Move your files from `/etc/openvpn/` to `/etc/openvpn/server/` or `/etc/openvpn/client/`. * The plugin lookup path changed, remove extra `plugins/` from relative paths. * The systemd unit `[email protected]` was replaced with `[email protected]` and `[email protected]`. Restart and reenable accordingly. This does not affect the functionality of `networkmanager`, `connman` or `qopenvpn`. </snip> -- main(a){char*c=/* Schoene Gruesse */"B?IJj;MEH" "CX:;",b;for(a/* Best regards my address: */=0;b=c[a++];) putchar(b-1/(/* Chris cc -ox -xc - && ./x */b/42*2-3)*42);}
