Hi all,

After I decided to push OpenVPN 2.0 into Debian for future inclusion in
Sarge, I got this [1] bug report from one Debian user. It seems that 2.0
doesn't get along well with udev, as opposed to 1.6. I don't use udev,
so I can't really tell, but has anything changed from 1.6 to 2.0 in the
way the device is handled?

The suspicious message is:

Oct 16 16:31:12 gimli wait_for_sysfs[5873]: error: wait_for_sysfs needs an 
update to handle the device '/class/net/tun0' properly, please report to 
<linux-hotplug-de...@lists.sourceforge.net>

The bug submitter claims that OpenVPN 1.6 deals correctly with it. Maybe
it has something to do with device probing?

Thanks,

Alberto

P.S. James, did you find out anything about this [2]? Do you think it
could be due to hardware (RAM) problem? I'm thinking about tagging it
irreproducible.
