Hello all,
I've just solved the problem for me. As mentioned, I was using OpenVPN version 2.0.9 at the server side:
# rpm -qa|grep vpn
openvpn-2.0.9-1.el5.rf
Just updated to version 2.3.2, restarted (after solving another bug), and it worked ok:
# yum update openvpn
...

Complete!
PLEASE NOTE: in my case, after updating, the OpenVPN server didn't start OK because I had the following line in my configuration:
plugin /usr/lib64/openvpn/plugin/lib/openvpn-auth-pam.so system-auth
The new OpenVPN RPM package (if you use RedHat, CentOS or derivatives) changed this file to another place (please check
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=966373), so you'll need to change that line to:
plugin /usr/lib64/openvpn/plugins/openvpn-plugin-auth-pam.so system-auth
Hope this helps!
Best regards, Celso.
