I spoke with Dell support on this. Apparently, they are aware of OMSA having trouble (not working) when TUN devices exist on the system. But they told me that since I was using unsupported free software (OpenVPN) that they couldn't officially support fixing the issue. I tried to explain that OpenVPN simply uses the TUN device interface via Linux kernel drivers and that I could also create a TUN devices with other software or even Linux itself, but they failed to grasp this. I had the tech talk to the OMSA development (at least he told me he did). He indicated that they are aware of the issue and at some point they expect to "implement support" for this. Clearly, he still didn't understand that this issue was a failure of the OMSA software to work with Linux itself. However, I did discover that in my case I can use TAP devices instead of TUN devices with OpenVPN without OMSA crashing. While this is not exactly what I wanted, it will be a sufficient workaround for now. - -- Jeremy Smith Systems Administrator eSilo, LLC.
