Hi,
I am trying to install openvpn server in chroot mode. my server is working fine (without chroot is working with client digital certificate & --auth-user-pass-verify username/password) .
when I enabled chroot .. server started listening without any trouble (with chroot succedded message in server log). But when client tries to connect AUTH_FAIL is happening and the server log says
"Failed running command (--auth-user-pass-verify) : could not execute external program"
I am currently clueless.. any help is well appreciated... thanks

The Manual wrote:Chroot to dir after initialization. --chroot essentially redefines dir as being the top level directory tree (/). OpenVPN will therefore be unable to access any files outside this tree.
