Hi all,

just as "reminder/additional information" to the ticket 299 some 
information on my issue:

I am using OpenVPN on a embedded device, usually with "ENABLE_SMALL" to 
have a small memory footprint.
Recently another user came up with a "stange" error I could not 
reproduce on my system.

A (valid) server configuration could not start and claimed "Options 
error: --client-config-dir fails with '/clients': No such file or 
directory".

It took some time to find out this seemes to be a bug of openvpn when 
also using "chroot" option.
For the clients connect after chroot took place, the "client-config-dir" 
folder needs to be relative to the chroot directory.

A "full" binary will fail it's sanity check for it checks the "full" 
path in advance, not taking the chroot into account.

So if chroot is present, at least the "client-config-dir" should be 
checked if "options->chroot_dir"/"options->client_config_dir" is present.

Thanks for your great work!

Joerg
