I had the same problem in 6.0 but not anymore in 6.1. If I remember correctly how I fixed it in 6.0, I just echoed null to /dev/tun0. But if you already have those devices I'm not sure anymore. Are you specifying the device in openvpn.con as "dev tun" or "dev tun[n]"? In 6.1 releng I have only "dev tun" and it creates the device by itself. But in OpenBSD I have to specify the device number also, even if there was just one of them. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
