gadmin openvpn

Binary package hint: gadmin-openvpn-server

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've been trying to setup a vpn network at my apartment for a couple of days now and I keep hitting a wall. Finally I downloaded this GUI to help organize things, but it is returning a curious error. It says that it is unable to open the plugin: "/etc/openvpn/openvpn.pam.auth.so"

Looking through my file system I noticed that the plugin's name was actually "/etc/openvpn/openvpn.auth.pam.so"

I dutifully tried to change this in the server configuration but it just reverts back to the old name when I try to activate the server.

Any ideas?

Ubuntu 10.04, fresh install of gadmin-openvpn-server: Same problem, but paths are different:

What gadmin thinks: /usr/lib/openvpn-pam-auth.so
Actual: /usr/lib/openvpn-auth-pam.so

As a workaround, I tried to create a symlink: sudo ln openvpn-auth-pam.so openvpn-pam-auth.so. This got me further (but there was another error later in the "Server log" tab: 'open error on pid file')

Hello.

Go to 'Server configuration' tab of gadmin-openvpn-server.
Change the line
plugin /usr/lib/openvpn/openvpn-pam-auth.so login
to
plugin /usr/lib/openvpn/openvpn-auth-pam.so login

Press 'Save' button.
