Something changed in net-misc/openvpn-2.1_rc9 and it now refuses to run up/down scripts. Here is the error message in syslog: openvpn[16215]: openvpn_execve: external program may not be called due to setting of --script-security level I added "--script-security 2" to init.d/openvpn and it works, but I do not know if this is a good long term solution. Reproducible: Always
I should have added this is on a ~amd64 system, but I doubt that makes any difference. Openvpn version is net-misc/openvpn-2.1_rc9.
