Mon Nov 26 21:59:20 2012 /sbin/ifconfig tun0 10.23.0.1 pointopoint 10.23.0.2 mtu 1500
Mon Nov 26 21:59:20 2012 Linux ifconfig failed: could not execute external program
Mon Nov 26 21:59:20 2012 Exiting

This is because there is no /sbin/ifconfig anymore

sys-apps/net-tools-1.60_p20120127084908

The stable net-tools package works ok.

Symlinking /bin/ifconfig to /sbin/ifconfig makes openvpn work as expected.
