Script username but not password

[phunni]

I currently have openvpn working on my linux machine and am using a credentials file to authenticate via --auth-user-pass

What I would like to be able to do is have my username remembered, but have to enter my password everytime - is that possible?

nope, currently this cannot be done, but it'd be a really small change to the openvpn source code : you could either pull in the username via an environment variable or you could add an extra option to specify the auth_user_pass username.

Thanks for the reply. In that case it's probably easiest to just try and do it in a shell script.
