[Openvpn-users] openvpn udp gives error1

["Dave" <dmehler26@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
   I've got two freebsd 6.0 boxes on different networks and i'm trying to 
bring them together using openvpn. If i use proto tcp everything works fine, 
use udp and i get an error code 1. The openvpn server is a natted box if 
that makes any difference. I'm using the static-key minihowto for testing 
and simplicity, i'll worry about ssl when i have basic functionality going. 
The specific msgs are below:

openvpn --config openvpn.conf
Mon May  1 20:57:04 2006 OpenVPN 2.0.6 i386-portbld-freebsd6.0 [SSL] [LZO] 
built on Apr  9 2006
Mon May  1 20:57:04 2006 IMPORTANT: OpenVPN's default port number is now 
1194, based on an official port number assignment by IANA.  OpenVPN 
2.0-beta16 and earlier used 5000 as the default port.

#user nobody
#group nobody
#daemon
route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0

I had to remove the user and group nobody lines, i was getting an error msg 
about only root can alter the routing table, which is why clientside i have 
those lines commented, i did not see any of this going tcp.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
Dave.
