I installed OpenVPN 2.0 via the ports on a 4.11 machine. I can start it
just find by these two steps:
1. cd /usr/local/etc/openvpn
2. openvpn server.conf &
The OpenVPN man page suggests that using the '--daemon' switch will make
OpenVPN run as a daemon but it doesn't work for me. No error message
but no process started. There are no entries in the log file.
The port installed /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openvpn.sh.sample. I've looked
at the script but all it does is start the tun interface. Thus I have
attempted to modify it to include actually starting the OpenVPN daemon.
Here is my script:
case x$1 in
xstart) echo -e "Starting OpenVPN\n" ;
exec kldload if_tap ;
openvpn --daemon \
--cd /usr/local/etc/openvpn \
--writepid /var/run/openvpn.pid \
--config server.conf.nogateway ;;
xstop) echo -e "Stopping OpenVPN\n" ;
exec kldunload if_tap ;
kill `cat /var/run/openvpn.pid` ;
rm /var/run/openvpn.pid ;;
*) echo >&2 "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
esac
Can anyone tell me my error?
Thanks,
Drew
