Can someone explain to me what this means and how to go about fixing it. This is tail end of the connection log from a failed attempt to connect to an OpenVPN server:

Also, where can I find the instructions for making these logs go to a file in addition to the console, which is where this one appeared? I would like it to happen while running as a regular user, not as root. Thanks.

Okay, never mind about that last question about how to fix it. I figured it out. Nonetheless, I do still want to know the answer to this one:

H2O, please provide the fix you made to your original question so that others, like me, can benefit from it.

Hello, lobi.
It is interesting that you happened to recall this post of mine, which is about 18 months old now, because it bears on another inquiry I recently made but have not yet fully resolved. First, concerning the question you asked, if I remember correctly, I fixed the problem with the scripts failing to run by changing my "script-security" setting in the "openvpn.conf" file of my client from a level of 1 to level 2. On the other hand, if your question concerns the log file, which I also asked about, the answer is to put the "log /path/to/openvpn.log" option in the client config. I hope this helps.
