Binary package hint: openvpn
In Ubuntu 8.04.1 the version of openvpn available is 2.1~rc7 which has a
pretty serious bug:
>From a reply to the openvpn mailing list after we were having problems:
"try upgrading to 2.1_rc9 ; in 2.1_rc7 the code to extract a common name
from a certificate DN was broken. v2.1_rc8 and higher reverted back to
the old mechanism, as found in 2.0.9."
This means any attempt to use the ccd feature (different options for
different clients based on the name of the client certificate) will
fail. Our setup involved an inter-LAN vpn; we could not push the
appropriate routes as it couldn't identify the clients properly
Manually upgraded to rc9 and our setup now works
