@ozburn thanks for letting me know. The work I do for this project is mostly tested on CentOS. So, it's nice to hear from the Ubuntu side as well. :)

I will fix this shortly.

@cad , i'm glad to help..!! , Got another issue on ubuntu...

On these days, default openvpn instalation on ubuntu, don't create user and group "openvpn" , instead, it's use.. the nobody user and nogroup group.

I change the user and group on /var/db/ovpm/server.conf and it's finally start openvpn service....

It's ok to change parameters on server.conf ?? , i mean... can be overwriten by another ovpm process ?

Thanks again..!! i have some ubuntu servers in production, i'm here to help ;)

By the way , sorry my Bad English too :)

@ozburn nope /var/db/ovpm/server.conf is a write only target for ovpmd. It will get overwritten every once in a while. So, use ovpm CLI instead.

If you need to do something that is not available right now via ovpm CLI. I would be glad to hear it as I may incorporate it in the upcoming versions.

For the user issue, you can create openvpn user & group to work around it for now. Every major distro is installing openvpn with nobody user & group now. I will switch to nobody as well.
