If people lean this way I think the code would still need to be changed to
fail instead of endlessly looping, sending bad answers back to the server.

That gets my vote, for what that's worth.

Prompting from management works fine as long as auth-user-pass file is not

I assume that would be something you'd fix (or make the program reject).
The current code does not prompt on the management interface for a
challenge/response if someone combines --management,
--management-query-passwords, and an auth-user-pass file.

Ultimately, though, I've switched over to a simple perl script I wrote that
runs a managed openvpn and gives me full control w/o using --auth-user-pass
(since the official release is not going to support reading the
challenge/response from a file).
