Too much log noise

Too much log noise: "NOTE: OpenVPN 2.1 requires '--script-security 2' or higher to call user-defined scripts or executables"

I am currently developing on an embedded linux platform and encountering an issue with too much logging occurring when we don't have connection to the AS. Our system uses flash memory so you can understand why we want to keep logging to a minimum and this unhelpful noise is irritating. I can eliminate a majority of the logging while this is occuring by lowering my log levels to verb 0, but this line still gets logged once a second, even when the mute setting is used as well. It appears that this is being logged in a separate way from the standard logging, since it ignores most of the logging parameters, which is frustrating.

Also, as I am sure most of you know the same sort of message appears even if you do have the script-security set to 2 or above because it feels it has to inform you that user scripts can be run. So it seems that there is no way to avoid this currently. Shouldn't this only be shown maybe once at startup, not every single attempt to connect?

Currently my workaround is to redirect logging to /dev/null, but this is not an ideal solution by any means since then I have no logging whatsoever.

This issue is currently logged as a bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=573129 but I am wondering if anyone has a workaround that will enable me to not have this message but still have logging enabled.

Good question, for which I don't know the answer. Bumping this for you, and will see if I can find more info...
