Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
If you try to setup a openvpn connection in NM 0.7, it fails. Looking at
syslog, I found:
Sep 18 13:07:35 home NetworkManager: <info> Starting VPN service
'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn'...

ensure_killed(): waiting for vpn service pid 13368 to exit
Checking the code I found in vpn-daemons/openvpn/src/nm-openvpn-
service.c:
/* Bash script security in the face; this option was added to OpenVPN
2.1-rc9
* and defaults to disallowing any scripts, a behavior change from
previous
* versions.
*/
add_openvpn_arg (args, "--script-security");
add_openvpn_arg (args, "2");
Hardy, as noted in the logs, has OpenVPN 2.1-rc7, so --script-security
is not available.
So, the hardy package should have these lines commented out. Any
suggestions on how to do it?
At the moment I'm recompiling NM 0.7 to test it.
