James, Folks,
I noticed a minor problem as my RH62 box started up:
$Starting openvpn: /etc/rc.d/init.d/openvpn: [: ==: binary operator expected
That's two distinct, common errors:
- $localization stuff that doesn't work on bash1
- an == in a [] in the script.
These are both directly related to the fact that the standard bash on
RH62 is bash1. We can fix compatibility in a few ways:
- ignore the odd $localization $artefact and make the one change to
the init script (as if we did perl -pi -e 's:==:=:' to is) in one place.
OR
- this patch:

# openvpn This shell script takes care of starting and stopping
# openvpn.
Super-trivial, but I'm wondering about any possible complications with
either approach. As it is now, we do have a valid bug in that, on RH62,
openVPN will not start.
(I also noticed I can start it multiple times. This may be another
problem - service openvpn start ; service openvpn start ; service
openvpn start ; service openvpn start - because it should normally
generate a minor gripe message)
Anyway, whatever the consensus, I can submit a patch.
