Public bug reported: Binary package hint: openvpn
Description: Ubuntu 8.10 Release: 8.10 openvpn: Installed: 2.1~rc11-1ubuntu2 Candidate: 2.1~rc11-1ubuntu2 Version table: *** 2.1~rc11-1ubuntu2 0 500 http://192.168.253.253 intrepid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status As of openvpn 2.1rc9 there is a new "script-security" feature. In the file /etc/init.d/openvpn there is the following piece of code to handle it # Handle backwards compatibility if test -z $( grep '^[[:space:]]*script-security[[:space:]]' $CONFIG_DIR/$NAME.conf ) ; then script_security="--script-security 2" fi Firstly to ensure proper backward compatibility it should set script- security to 3 not 2 as my server using an external auth plugin would not work with it set to 2 as passwords do not get passed in the environment vars. Secondly, if you set "script-security" in the server.conf file to try and "fix" the problem the startup script breaks with the following message. "test: 278: 3: unexpected operator" Cheers. ** Affects: openvpn (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- openvpn server startup script broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379412 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openvpn in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
