Hi,
I have problems to connect to my laptop via openvpn with my n900.
here are my config files:
laptop:
Code:
dev tun
remote *****.ath.cx
ifconfig 192.168.2.199 10.1.0.2
secret geheim.key
port 1194
verb 1
keepalive 30 120
comp-lzo
user nobody
group nogroup
persist-key
persist-tun
n900:
Code:
dev tun
remote ****.ath.cx
ifconfig 10.1.0.2 192.168.2.199
route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0
secret geheim.key
port 1194
verb 1
keepalive 30 120
comp-lzo
user nobody
group nogroup
persist-key
persist-tun
the command line says:
Code:

Are you executing it as root?

If the permission denied at exit was the only problem, you can get rid of it by not dropping root priviledges (user nobody, group nogroup)

I don't think thats the problem, I use openvpn dropping privilegies to nobody and nogroup.
But i'm not and expert

Well he didn't really tell what problem was except in thread title. And that error message should disappear when root priviledges are not dropped. It doesn't really have any effect because "problem" happens when closing the connection.

Hi guys,
I have removed user nobody, group nogroup and the errors disapperared.
I can not connect to my laptop, but there must be other problems.
If I have time, I'll take a look on that

thanks for helping!
