I was testing Tunnelblick with Selva's C/R server and config (thanks
again for that) and there was a problem. Maybe I'm (still)
misunderstanding something, but a SIGUSR1 restart asks for the normal
username/password instead of a static C/R.

That is, the first thing after the restart is ">PASSWORD:Need 'Auth'
username/password" instead of ">PASSWORD:Need 'Auth' username/password
SC:1,Type something (e.g., hello): ".

Should Tunnelblick save the static challenge info (like it saves the
dynamic challenge info) and use it again whenever it sees a
">PASSWORD:Need 'Auth' username/password"? (Except when there is also
a pending dynamic challenge, in which case it would use that instead.)

Also, there's an oddity (that doesn't cause a problem) in that the
first thing Tunnelblick sees over the management interface for the
original connection is "ENTER PASSWORD:SUCCESS: password is correct"
-- that comes even before ">INFO:OpenVPN Management Interface Version
1 -- type 'help' for more info", and long before any username or
password has been entered.

Once I get everything working (and I understand it myself), I plan to
submit a patch to doc/management-notes.txt that will (I hope) clarify
the C/R documentation.

Thanks,

Jon
