Not sure what the problem is. If you generate a static key on Windows, you will get CR-LF line termination. If you generate on *nix, you will get LF-only (i.e. newline) termination. Each platform generates interoperable keys. The only strange behaviour I noticed is if you generate a key on Linux then try to edit it with a dumb editor on windows (such as Notepad), it doesn't "get" the line termination right. But OpenVPN will still read the key correctly, as the key reader is mostly whitespace independent. James
