According to http://svn.openvpn.net/projects/openvpn/branches/BETA21/openvpn/management /management-notes.txt the NEED-OK line is a notification that is supposed to be acked using the management interface (issue a "needok token-insertion-request ok" command to the management port)... That makes it quite unsuitable at boot-up time.

Does a workaround where we would filter out configurations that use pkcs#11 so that they are not autostarted make sense ? Would looking for "pkcs11-id" in the configuration be enough to detect them ? ** Changed in: openvpn (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- openvpn configuration with token (pkcs11 provider) blocks the boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278784 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openvpn in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
