[Openvpn-users] Problem with OpenVPN-1.5.0 on RH9

["Dima M. Kullab" <deema@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,   
 I'm trying to build an rpm from openvpn-1.5.0 on a RedHat 9, but there is   
 always a failure even though all pre-requirements are isntalled. The output 
is   
 as follows:   
    
 *********   
 error: Name field must be present in package: (main package)   
 error: Version field must be present in package: (main package)   
 error: Release field must be present in package: (main package)   
 error: Summary field must be present in package: (main package)   
 error: Group field must be present in package: (main package)   
 error: License field must be present in package: (main package)   
 *********   
  I'm not sure what the problem could be, so I tried installing from source   
 code (tarball), and there were no problems at all!! I even tested it on the   
 loopback interface as suggested in the INSTALL file with no problems!!   
    
 The problems started to appear in the configuration later. The master   
 certificate authority certificate/private-key pair was successfully created,   
 but when I attempted to create certificate/private-key pairs for both peers,   
 following the HOW-TO instructions. What I did was the following:   
    
 openssl req -nodes -new -keyout office.key -out office.csr   
 openssl ca -out office.crt -in office.csr   
    
 The first command executed perfectly and the .key and .csr file were created.   
 The second one, on the other hand, produced the following reponse:   
    
 ********   
 Using configuration from /usr/share/ssl/openssl.cnf   
 wrong number of fields on line 1 (looking for field 6, got 1, '' left)   
 ********   
    
 and the final result is that certificate (.crt) file could not be created!! I   
 would really appreciate if someone can help me!!  
   
 Thank you!
