Bug 110199 – openvpn password-save use flag

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Frank Benkstein 2005-10-23 00:35:12 UTC]

OpenVPN supports saving passwords for authentification against a server
(--auth-user-pass) in a file but enabling this needs a compile time
(./configure) option. Below trivial patch adds this feature, please apply.

Thanks for the patch! Is in openvpn-2.0.4-r1 and r2, but the USE flag has been
renamed to passwordsave
