[Bug 372358] Re: Please merge openvpn 2.1~rc15-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

[Thierry Carrez]

@Andres:
About $script_security, yes, we also need it to be passed as an option.

And yes, something similar to what you propose just might take the best
of both worlds : use start-stop-daemon to avoid failure on start when a
PID file is not deleted, and still have our $script_security and boot-
time password bypass.

The only issue is that I'm not sure (at all) start-stop-daemon would
pass the </dev/null to the daemon and that it would work as intended. So
yes, it needs to be thoroughly tested: setup a password-protected VPN,
reproduce success to boot with current ubuntu, upgrade to the merged
version and check if it would not restore the bug (boot process blocked
by openvpn asking for a password).
