Bug Description
Binary package hint: openvpn
Intrepid currently ships openvpn 2.1 rc9, which introduced several regressions compared to rc7 (hardy) behavior and features :
* --lladdr input validation code expects the lladdr parameter to be an IP address when it is actually a MAC address (introduced in rc9)
* --ifconfig, --route, and --route-gateway used to be able to accept DNS names (introduced in rc8)
* all scripts parameters used to accept arguments but they no lonoger can (introduced in rc9, also filed here as bug 277447)
* Deferred authentication features introduced a bug in intra-session TLS key rollover (introduced in rc8)
Debian's rc11-1 release (from Sep 18) fixes all those regressions and lots of other bugs, while introducing only a couple of new features. It has proven stable since its release without any further regressions compared to rc7 behavior.
I'll prepare a merge with that version and submit it for Feature Freeze exception approval.
