it seems a second process (the pam plugin is a good candidate) is spawning into the background, causing the message '[1]<pid>' to appear.
To see the actual status of your openvpn setup, check the 'openvpn.log' file in the directory where you started OpenVPN.

Some general tips:
* if you want openvpn to completely launch in the background, add 'daemon'
* it is best to specify a full path name when using 'log-append'
* using both 'log' and 'log-append' does not make sense: the last one specified "wins". If you had specified 'log' as the last one the log file would always be truncated every time openvpn starts.

hi there,

>dev tun
>dev-node MyTap
>server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
>server-bridge 10.8.0.4 255.255.255.0 10.8.0.50 10.8.0.100

just to know that tun interface is used for routing
and you mix server and server-bridge all together....

what you want to do?routing or bridging?

Michael.
