Bug 94350 – openvpn init.d script does not support multiple configrations very nicely

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Steven Green 2005-05-28 23:28:45 UTC]

I think the script in Bug 20085 (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20085)
and the one that was in openvpn-2.o-rc1 was better than the current one because
it searched for configurations within folders within /etc/openvpn.  This is good
because each configuration sometimes needs its own  files such as a .pem file
and it is good to keep related things together.

The init.d script with openvpn-2.0 just scans for *.conf in /etc/openvpn.  This
means having to add extra paths in the .conf files or rename generic files into
configuration specific names.

I meant to say that the script with openvpn-2.0_rc6 was better than the one in
openvpn-2.0 regarding configuration folders.

Please, not yet another flamewar... You can easily tweak it yourself as needed.

2.0-r1 now uses the "older" initscript again. i've also improved it, see bug
#92369 for details.
