Oh, as a side note - I did see this problem myself in the past (which turned out to be "user not having sufficient permission", not "IPv6 disabled" in the end) and proposed to add a pushable option to make "IPv6 can not be configured" a warning only, not a fatal error, see here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.devel/8527 ... the response was deafening silence, so I didn't do it. Now, it would certainly be helpful to understand what the real issue is for you - "it does not work on some platforms" (without having fiddled with the OS settings), or "if I manually disable IPv6, OpenVPN will not come up" - and in the latter case, why you think it's necessary to turn off IPv6. The developers are alway reluctant to add extra code to OpenVPN, as we already have way too many strange options - so unless we truly understand the issue (and it makes sense), we're not going to implement anything to help it. gert PS: don't take the discussion off the list, please.
