Hi posting in devel because I am asking for clarification of what the source code really does.
Re: https://forums.openvpn.net/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=22485 Config: |--- server *normal stuff* log-append /tmp/openvpn.log --- I have just tried with Ubuntu1604 myself and observe that: (My basic config I added: --log /tmp/client1.log) 1. $ sudo systemctl start openvpn@client1 = log file *not* created 2. $ sudo openvpn client1.conf = log file created normally in /tmp Obviously, systemctl start openvpn@client1 appends more options when starting openvpn (in my hand written service the only addition is --daemon client1) So I presume that by daemonizing something changes with regard to writing the log file to /tmp ?? Also note, in the forum post --daemon is used within the config file. I did grep -E "/tmp" src/openvpn/* and found some code in init.c (line 664) but it's all C, foo, bar to me (Sea food bar ;-) ) Anyhoo, can anybody provide a brief and simple explanation ?
