Hi. I'm trying to create an openvpn connection. When I try to run it as root I get the following output:
# /usr/local/sbin/openvpn --config myvpn.conf Mon Jun 15 15:13:40 2009 OpenVPN 2.0.9 x86_64-suse-linux [SSL] [LZO] [EPOLL] built on Jun 15 2009 Mon Jun 15 15:13:40 2009 IMPORTANT: OpenVPN's default port number is now 1194, based on an official port number assignment by IANA. OpenVPN 2.0-beta16 and earlier used 5000 as the default port.

/dev/net/tun exists, but may have the wrong rights: # ls /dev/net/tun -l crw-rw---- 1 root users 10, 200 Apr 14 10:06 /dev/net/tun
I have openvpn client on Windows XP and it connects fine to this server. Can anyone give me a hint on the TUN device? Been googling and looking at the man pages...
Thanks, James

What I have for the TUN device looks like this: [antwerp@bepstein][~] ls -l /dev/net/tun crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 10, 200 2007-09-21 17:50 /dev/net/tun [antwerp@bepstein][~] Don't know if this helps... But you are basically saying that your OpenVPN works, error messages notwithstanding... Or did I miss something?
