[Openvpn-users] problem configuring openvpn

[Matt Singerman <matt.singerman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I am setting up a fresh install of OpenVPN 2.0.5 on a FreeBSD 6.0.  I
was able to install it from the FreeBSD ports collection with no
problems, and per the instructions from the OpenVPN website, I then
copied it to another directory (in this case, /usr/local/etc/openvpn).
 I followed the additional configuration steps listed in the openvpn
howto, including generating certificates for the server and clients,
with no problems.  I then copied over the server.conf example script
and tweaked it a bit, but not too much, so I could hopefully make sure
it worked all right before I did any major changes.  However, when I
try to start up openvpn in (as the howto recommends, I am right now
trying it simply as "openvpn server.conf"), I get the following error:

# openvpn server.conf
Options error: --server directive network/netmask combination is invalid
Use --help for more information.

The network/netmask section of my server.conf file is set to the
default settings:

server 10.8.0.1 255.255.255.0

I've attached the entire server.conf file just for the fun of it, even
though it's almost all the same as the sample config file.

Am I missing something obvious here?  Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt
