Dear list members, dear James, even if this is not breaking news, I had such a deep revelation of how things work, I'd like to share it with you: Remember, I had strange trouble with my OpenVPN setup as soon as I turned on any kind of crypto. First it was some strange messages, with later versions I got segfaults ... As I initially assumed, it was some library trouble ! On the machine where I compiled OpenVPN I had openssl v0.9.6a but on my gateways v0.9.6. Since there is not even a 'make' on the barebone machines I had to figure out which files to transfer for a library upgrade. You gurus out there please supress your laughter ! usr/lib/libssl.a usr/lib/libssl.so usr/lib/libssl.so.0 usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.6 are necessary on a Slackware GNU/Linux box to get things done. Now everything works fine ! The gateways are Pentium 133 boxes an I just watched a PAL video stream using xawtv via the tunnel. The intermediate 10BaseT segment was at 70% load and the gateways had a load average of 1.77 (97% CPU for openvpn) ! But it works !! Great software !
