Creating a symlink from /etc/init.d/net.tun0 shutds down the message. But, isn't the problem because of openvpn giving me wrong advice at first? Should it tell me I should also create the net.tun0 file in addition to openvpn.foo? >>> Installing (1 of 1) net-misc/openvpn-2.3.6 * WARNING: The openvpn init script has changed * * The openvpn init script expects to find the configuration file * openvpn.conf in /etc/openvpn along with any extra files it may need. * * To create more VPNs, simply create a new .conf file for it and * then create a symlink to the openvpn init script from a link called * openvpn.newconfname - like so * cd /etc/openvpn * nano foo.conf * cd /etc/init.d * ln -s openvpn openvpn.foo * * You can then treat openvpn.foo as any other service, so you can * stop one vpn and start another if you need to. * * plugins have been installed into /usr/lib64/openvpn * * OpenVPN 2.3.x no longer includes the easy-rsa suite of utilities. * They can now be emerged via app-crypt/easy-rsa.
It seems to me that the tun0 device will be setup by a specific OpenVPN configuration, not by a configuration init script. As such, the dependency you have in your /etc/conf.d/sshd (in rc_need) is wrong; it should depend on the relevant openvpn.foo script which the OpenVPN ebuild advises you to create.
