rock1961 wrotei have installed openvpn on centos 5.5 to use as a client and did the installation with configure, make, make install, etc but the /etc/openvpn dir is not being created. is this normal? do i need to create the dir and copy files from the installation source or did something go wrong? i saw no errors on building.
thanks
Correct. It doesn't create /etc/openvpn automatically. You need to do it yourself.
I use easy-rsa, generate all the keys in the openvpn-2.whatever/easy-rsa/2.0/keys directory.. then:
mkdir -p /etc/openvpn/keys
cp keys/* /etc/openvpn/keys
Then I make a server.conf and put it in /etc/openvpn and edit accordingly.
