Hi Erich
I've gone through the HOWTO's and tried checking for a precedure for running a script (I've not seen example scripts during my search) to push dhcp option on a Linux workstation.I tried running the only script given in the web link below (from my previous email) but it proves unsuccessful on my openSUSE 10.2 workstation. Please, send me a link on sample scripts and procedure/HOWTO to push this option on the client. Thanks for your time!
Kind Regards
Peter

from the RTFM
The OpenVPN server can push DHCP options such as DNS and WINS server
addresses to clients (some caveats to be aware of). Windows clients can
accept pushed DHCP options natively, while non-Windows clients can
accept them by using a client-side up script which parses the
foreign_option_n environmental variable list. See the man page or
openvpn-users mailing list archive for non-Windows foreign_option_n
documentation and script examples.
cheers
Erich
