Thanks for your patches, will apply ASAP (tomorrow-ish). gert -- "If was one thing all people took for granted, was conviction that if you feed honest figures into a computer, honest figures come out.

[Openvpn-devel] [PATCH 0/2] Fix mistyped option names
While preparing a 2.5_beta1 package, I had to look back and forth betwenn various sources to get option names right. It seems that in some places names are altered to make grammatical sense, which I find confusing. "Data cipher" and "compression" are simply words, and it makes sense to use the grammatically correct form whenever they are used. However I interpret --data-cipher, ``--data-cipher`` and --compression as literal, as the dashes and code highlighting hints that this is exactly how these are used in configuration and commands. There is no option --data-cipher in OpenVPN, so I would not expect the literal --data-cipher to appear anywhere, even when a sentence refers to one singular cipher in the list of --data-ciphers.
