[Openvpn-users] Mandrake 10.0/10.1

[Doug Lytle <support@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is what I've found out so far with both Mandrake 10.0 and 10.1.

**10.0).   The /dev/net/tun device is owned by root:root. 
               Permissions on it are crw/r--/---
               I get an openvpn error:  /dev/net/tun permissions denied.

Changing the permissions on the tun to:   crw/r--/rw- I get the 
following log entries:

Tue Sep 28 08:32:45 2004 us=821904 OPTIONS IMPORT: --ifconfig/up options 
modified

--dhcp-option options modified

exited with error status: 255
Tue Sep 28 08:32:45 2004 us=892625 Exiting

Also, when trying to manually run chroot /etc/openvpn, I get:

   chroot cannot run '/bin/bash': no such file or directory.

**10.1).

Under Mandrake 10.1 it would seem that the /dev/net/tun is a link to ../tun
Permissions are:   lrw/rwx/rwx

Trying to run as chroot and nobody:nogroup works only if I run the 
start.sh script manually, running it as a startup script fails with the 
tun/tap not found error.

James,  any suggestions?
