openvpn don't start after upgrading to baselayout-1.12.0_pre9 with the init script: unable to find the local.conf file. just changing "--cd ${VPN}" and "--config ${VPN}/local.conf" by "--cd ${VPNDIR}/${VPN}" and "--config local.conf" and the script work again ;) don't know what is best for handling dir in this script ;) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. see above ;) 2. 3. just for info on the two other computer that run openvpn same thing ( an athlon-xp and a pentium 3 ;) ) Actual Results: see above ;) Expected Results: see above ;) Portage 2.0.53_rc5 (default-linux/amd64/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.13-gentoo-r3 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.13-gentoo-r3 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre9 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.13 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-mtune=k8 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib64/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/bind /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/home/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="fr_FR@euro" LINGUAS="fr" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X X509 Xaw3d acpi alsa apache2 apm audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bluetooth bonobo cdr chroot clamav clamd crypt cups curl dbus directfb dv dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss emul-linux-x86 encode esd evo fam fbcon font-server foomaticdb fortran ftp gdbm gecko-sdk gif gimp gimpprint gnome gnome-print gnomedb gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile hal ieee1394 imagemagick imlib imlib2 ipv6 jack jack-tmpfs java jikes joystick jpeg kde ldap lm_sensors lzw lzw-tiff mad maildir mbrola motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mysql nas ncurses nfs nls nvidia odbc ogg opengl pam pdflib perl png ppds python qt quicktime readline rhythmbox ruby samba scanner sdl sndfile spell ssl svg tcltk tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1 type1-fonts usb userlocales v4l v4l2 vcd vorbis xine xml xml2 xmms xpm xv zlib linguas_fr userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, MAKEOPTS
What version of baselayout did you upgrade from?
i think baselayout-1.12.0_pre8 but can't be very sure ;) in fact the last ~x86 and ~amd64 stable version...
Personally I think the openvpn init script is broken - very much so. Variables really need to be quoted (hint - it breaks if there's a folder with a space in the name) and the dev must have an editor >80 characters wide. If the reporter could attach a fully working sample for /etc/openvpn/a_working_config (or email to uberlord@gentoo.org if you don't want others to read it) then I'll fix the script and attach to this bug.
Created attachment 70540 [details] openvpn init for all baselayouts Please test and report back. The only thing I dislike about this init script is that you either start or stop all the vpns - you may only want to start/stop one of them. This is solvable by creating symlinks like so cd /etc/init.d ln -s openvpn openvpn.vpn1 ln -s openvpn openvpn.vpn2 Then each vpn can be started and stopped by itself and use /etc/openvpn (default) or /etc/openvpn/vpn1 Thoughts?
Uh - just to clarify, the symlink trick to control seperate vpns requires a new init script - but it's trivial to write one if anyone's interested
Created attachment 70547 [details] openvpn symlink init script This init script works by symlink name as described above openvpn -> /etc/openvpn openvpn.vpn1 -> /etc/openvpn/vpn1 Again it has the advantage of being able to start stop different vpns :)
all scripts works fine, prefered one the last ;) good work ps: will see when have time how to mix the two ways, perhaps with the pid files ...
Fixed in 2.0.2-r1 It has a new init script, based on the symlink one here except we no longer use the /openvpn/vpn1/local.conf as we use /etc/openvpn/vpn1.conf instead. See the post install instructions on how to configure.
