Re: [Openvpn-users] Problems with ifconfig-pool-persist

["Michael Scheidell" <scheidell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If I openvpn I running as non root, and I don't create the file ahead of
time and chown,chgrp and chmod it, it doesn't work.

Step to recreate:

rm ip file.
Options:
persist-tun
persist-key
persist-local-ip
persist-remote-ip
ifconfig-pool-persist /usr/local/etc/openvpn/client2ip.txt 60
client-config-dir ccd
ccd-exclusive
Start openvpn.

Notice file is created 0:0, 0 bytes, rx----- permissions.

-rw-------  1 root wheel     0 Jul  4 12:01 client2ip.txt

wait 180 seconds:
Nothing written to client2ip.txt even after multiple clients connect.

Options:
persist-tun
persist-key
persist-local-ip
persist-remote-ip
ifconfig-pool-persist /usr/local/etc/openvpn/client2ip.txt 60
client-config-dir ccd
#ccd-exclusive

Still nothing.

Options:
persist-tun
persist-key
persist-local-ip
persist-remote-ip
ifconfig-pool-persist /usr/local/etc/openvpn/client2ip.txt 60
#client-config-dir ccd
#ccd-exclusive

So, it's the client-config-dir ccd that does it.

I was hoping to use ccd to populate the client2ip.txt file, guess I will
have to do it by hand.

Thanks.
