Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openvpn
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10
openvpn:
Installed: 2.1~rc11-1ubuntu2
Candidate: 2.1~rc11-1ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 2.1~rc11-1ubuntu2 0

As of openvpn 2.1rc9 there is a new "script-security" feature.
In the file /etc/init.d/openvpn there is the following piece of code to
handle it
# Handle backwards compatibility
if test -z $( grep '^[[:space:]]*script-security[[:space:]]'
$CONFIG_DIR/$NAME.conf ) ; then
script_security="--script-security 2"
fi
Firstly to ensure proper backward compatibility it should set script-
security to 3 not 2 as my server using an external auth plugin would not
work with it set to 2 as passwords do not get passed in the environment
vars. Secondly, if you set "script-security" in the server.conf file to
try and "fix" the problem the startup script breaks with the following
message.
"test: 278: 3: unexpected operator"
Cheers.
