Package: openvpn
Version: 2.0.5-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
I build a openvpn client configuration, and inserted the name in
/etc/default/openvpn so it can be started by /etc/init.d/openvpn.
Unfortunately there is a mistake in the init script, the command
$DAEMON --writepid /var/run/openvpn.$NAME.pid \
$DAEMONARG $STATUSARG --cd $CONFIG_DIR \
--config $CONFIG_DIR/$NAME.conf < /dev/null
|| STATUS="FAILED"
contains a "<" instead of a ">". Though, the openvpn process is started,
but doesn't create a pid nor a status file. The result is, the process
can't be terminated again by the init script, because it depends on the pid
file.
I changed the "<" to a ">" and everything works fine.
Patch:

< --config $CONFIG_DIR/$NAME.conf < /dev/null ||

> --config $CONFIG_DIR/$NAME.conf > /dev/null ||
STATUS="FAILED"
Hope this is ok, it's my first bug report.
