i believe debian init scripts start openvpn as daemon with the --daemon ovpn-<configname> in order to be able to run multiple instances of openvpn with different configs (yes you can setup multiple openvpn connection in the same config, but i prefer to have different config files for each server i run), that means that any openvpn config has a different --daemon options, or otherwise, you need to specify the daemon <something> options inside each config
This is the extract from /etc/init.d/openvpn: if grep -q '^[ ]*daemon' $CONFIG_DIR/$NAME.conf ; then # daemon already given in config file DAEMONARG= else # need to daemonize DAEMONARG="--daemon ovpn-$NAME" fi probably you can just add ovpn-* to the *MultiService = definition. -- Gabriele "moebius" Armao Undergraduate student in Computer Science @ University of Bologna ICQ#: 12132670 JabberID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Registered User # 343306 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
