Now restart the openvpn server and make a connect attempt, then check the /etc/openvpn/log dir for the logfile. IMPORTANT: ========== And please note that *all* identifiers are *case sensitive* in Linux so the entry in your earlier post: log_file="/tmp/Connections.log" is *NOT* compatible with the script as I had written it where the variable LOG_FILE is used... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users
