Hi Richard,

Dear list.
I am experimenting with openvpn.lrp.
I have loaded the following packages in addition to J. Nilos tun.o
module.
openvpn
libssl
libcrypt
The firewall is otherwise functioning normally, I have web access, etc.
In daemon.log, openvpn does fine until the ifconfig command fails
Then openvpn exits. The relevant log lines are shown below and my
openvpn.conf is included.

Just a wild guess - but do you actually have the ifconfig binary in /sbin? It's not part of the standard Bering install, and apparently the version you're using still needs ifconfig.

I wrote a patch for it to support "ip" instead of "ifconfig" which got included into the 1.6 release of OpenVPN. Maybe one of the Bering developers can update the package, if there's enough demand.

I'm assuming you're using the openvpn package from http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/ - which looks like a statically linked version (meaning, you'll most likely not need libssl and libcrypt)

Of course, if you're not using the openvpn package from http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/ but rather one from another source, none of this applies.
