You may save 1 or 2 storage inodes, depending on the filesystem type, but that shouldn't do any real difference at all !!!
Anyway, in your case, i would write an init script that decompresses the config file to the RAM disk /dev/shm and call OpenVPN from the decompressed file. Being stored on RAM, one single 15-20k file will make no difference at all on your system. I never did that, but maybe you can even erase the file after calling OpenVPN on it. -- Atenciosamente / Sincerily, Leonardo Rodrigues Solutti Tecnologia http://www.solutti.com.br Minha armadilha de SPAM, NÃO mandem email gertru...@solutti.com.br My SPAMTRAP, do not email it ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users
