From: David Sommerseth <dav...@redhat.com> A report on #openvpn pointed out that in his setup three warnings appeard on the console when starting up.
$ sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openvpn restart Stopping openvpn. Waiting for PIDS: 33031. Starting openvpn. openvpn: writing to routing socket: No such process openvpn: writing to routing socket: No such process openvpn: writing to routing socket: No such process $ This setup is on FreeBSD using jails with strict access to the routing table. After looking at the code path, this error was found in the BSD sections for get_default_gateway(). But it was using the warn() call instead of msg(M_WARN|M_ERRNO, ...) which causes these warnings to go to stderr instead of the log file. The warning string is also slightly modified to better explain what fails.
