I know of at least four DHCP clients and I avoid dhclient as much as possible. It would be a tremendous mistake to tie OpenVPN to any one DHCP client IMO. What most if not all distributions have in common, or could have in common, is that a script configures the network interface. Sometimes it's called ifup, other times it's /etc/init.d/net.tap0, yet other times it's something else. I suggest instead relying on a generic configuration script to do interface configuration when the VPN comes up. I believe that's actually what most distributions do already. //Peter
