Public bug reported:
When restarting openvpn with "service openvpn restart" this occurs:
Jul 12 09:37:03 Muur2 ovpn-client[3831]: TCP/UDP: Socket bind failed on local
address [undef]: Address already in use
Jul 12 09:37:04 Muur2 ovpn-client[3743]: WARNING: Failed running command
(--up/--down): external program exited with error status: 255
Failing openvpn services to restart.
Using "Service openvon start && service openvpn stop" yields the same
result.
When doing a "serice openvpn stop" followed by "service openvpn start"
works.
I presume openvpn returns before making sure the sockets it uses are
closed properly or sockets report being closed wrongly.
This is a serious bug . Machines become inaccessible after updates that
require openvpn to be restarted.
Thank you for looking into this.
