No, there is no such command. You should have openvpnz.lrp on the (iso) image, tarball whatever you've downloaded from leaf.sourceforge.net. Add it to your hdd, if it' not already there, add "openvpnz" to the LRP line in leaf.cfg and reboot. Pls be aware you also need to add "tun" module to /etc/modules and save the configuration via lrcfg to load the module during boot. There has been a discussion on this list how to create keys recently, it may help. You may also find some help here https://bering-uclibc.zetam.org/wiki/Main_Page Look for the appropriate User Guide (note: the 6.0 USer Guide still has some empty chapters). > 2.

AFAIK yes; though the main problem is the handling of linefeed (CR/LF). > 3. Is there a place I can demo the mconf-httpd/ui of a leaf distribution > anywhere? We've always used the cli. I'm not aware of any- and I stick with the CLI, esp for more advanced tasks. hth kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: leaf-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user Support Request -- http://leaf-project.org/
