this is important info - openssl 0.9.9. is fairly old, but still 
supported by OpenVPN; however, it seems that the default cipher chosen 
by your openssl lib is an SSLv2 one. Can you try adding the flag
    tls-version-min 1
to the server config?

Alternatively, upgrade openssl to 1.0.1 on the server side. You can link 
openvpn against a custom version of OpenSSL so you won't have to upgrade 
the system library.
