Hi Scott,

I've just recently set up an OpenVPN 2.0 server. It's actually pretty straightforward, if you're at least somewhat familiar with the old 1.x operation.
I have no doubt - the config-file is not the problem (especially since the sample configs provided should almost work out of the box anyway).

Included in the source is a directory called easy-rsa, which provides some scripts to streamline key management operations:
http://openvpn.sourceforge.net/easyrsa.html
I know - I created an easyrsa.lrp as well ;-)

To be honest, I have been able to create certs for a simple loopback test (did that just to make sure the binaries actually worked), using the easyrsa scripts plus the output of "help easyrsa" (which basically contains the info from the page you mentioned). But at the moment, I don't have time to support a package that I haven't really used myself, especially not since I still need to read up on the "big picture" of using certificates. Yes, the scripts and the instructions work, but I'd like to understand what I'm doing/telling people to do.

And having seen the kinds of questions that have come up on the openvpn lists, I'm rather weary about questions on key-management, revocation-lists, how to use certificates from MS Cert Store, what all those strange file-endings mean, where to keep the certs (and so on - I guess you get the idea).
