Hi list,

I have openvpn-2.0.6 running as server on OpenBSD-current as of 9-OCT-2006.
I noticed that it is creating files in /etc/openvpn:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] [~] # ls -l /etc/openvpn
total 48
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   3820 Oct 11 14:27 antvpn.crt
-rw-------  1 root  wheel    891 Oct 11 14:27 antvpn.key
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   1184 Oct 11 14:27 ca.crt
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    245 Oct 11 14:45 dh1024.pem
-rw-------  1 root  daemon    16 Oct 23 16:22 ipp.txt
-rw-------  1 root  daemon   232 Oct 23 16:26 openvpn-status.log
-r--r--r--  1 root  bin     9976 Oct 11 15:51 server.conf

It is the files "ipp.txt" and "openvpn-status.log".
My question: is it good habit at all to write to /etc?
Since my router is running from USB-flash i normally have the root fs readonly and only /var, /tmp and /dev on a ramdisk.
Shouldn't openvpn write to /var/db or /var/log?
