Public bug reported: Binary package hint: openvpn
I have a server that was upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. I cannot say with certainty what was happening during 9.04 but systematically when I reboot the daemon does not come up: $ sudo service openvpn status [sudo] password for blah: * could not access PID file for VPN 'server' $ sudo service openvpn start * Starting virtual private network daemon(s)... * Autostarting VPN 'server' ...done. $ sudo service openvpn status * VPN 'server' is running The server is currently being assigned an IP address (DHCP). It looks like that OpenVPN is coming up before that address is provided.
