OpenVPN's site provides fine documentation:

I'm working through the docs you referenced in the HOWTO and it says:
Next, initialize the PKI. On Linux/BSD/Unix:
. ./vars
>./clean-all
>./build-ca
the vars file is not executable and from what I see in the Makefile they want 
to 
chmod it to 644....I tried /bin/sh ./vars and it seemed to work but then when I 
run ./clean-all which is executable I get
Please source the vars script first (i.e. ". ./vars")
Make sure you have edited it to reflect your configuration.
I'm stumped as this appears to be something Linux will handle but not 
FreeBSD....any suggestions?
