vtund server denies connections because /var/lock/vtund directory doesn't exist

[lhotari]

Binary package hint: vtun

Server shows this error message in /var/log/auth.log:
Can't create temp lock file /var/lock/vtund/myvpn

workaround: mkdir /var/lock/vtund
Problem with the workaround is that is doesn't survive reboots. You'll have to add these lines to /etc/init.d/vtund :
if [ ! -d /var/lock/vtund ]; then
        mkdir /var/lock/vtund
fi

Thanks this will be fixed in maverick and probably make a good sru.

Chuck: I don't agree with the change here.

As I said in LP: #598053:

> mkdir /var/lock/vtund || exit 0

> That would stop you from being able to "invoke-rc.d vtun start; invoke-rc.d vtun stop". It's a pretty serious bug, really.
