From looking at the openvpn mailing lists, it appears that rc17, the latest rc, will be the last one before OpenVPN 2.0 is made the current stable release. This is expected to happen "later this month or early April" to quote James Yonan, the OpenVPN maintainer (or one of them) I think. Judging by progress speed to date on MNF2, i would say that it will not be released before this (not a criticism, just an observation), so wouldn't it be better to wait and ensure that OpenVPN2.0 will be made part of MNF2.
If not, MNF2 will be of limited use to XP users once they put SP2 on their clients, which is inevitably going to become much more widespread as time goes on. I realise this will probably slow the release date of MNF2 even further due to the change of, and subsequent need for testing of such a significant component at a late stage in development. I do feel it would be well worth it though, as this part of MNF2 will be obsolete almost as soon as it is released. The openvpn site is already directing lots of support requests for 1.6 to upgrade to 2.0 rcxx to solve their problem.
What do others think? Dj.
