Re: [Openvpn-devel] Passing private key passphrase to openvpn

2004-07-18 Thread Brandon Knitter
I was thinking about this the other day, and was wondering if you couldn't just prompt the person for a password, telling them to "Hit Enter" if they don't have one. Then if one is provided (string != null or length(string)>0) just shove it down STDIN's throat? If it works, it *is* a hack, but it

[Openvpn-devel] Windows Command Prompt vs. Systray Icon

2004-06-11 Thread Brandon Knitter
I had a few of my users ask why the Windows OpenVPN connection was in a Command Prompt window and not just a Systray Icon with a status window. You know, that's a great question. I was going to look into the code and see what it would take, but of course I do that I figured I'd ask if anyone look
