Hi Erich, thanx for the response.

No errors are delivered as far as I can see. 

I only have 
rcopenvpn {start|stop|restart|condrestart|reload|reopen|satatus}

which delivers no errors. (?)

"openvpn client.conf" runs normally when I log in via ssh and start it
in the session. The server side also responds and the channel works; the
AS/400 can be logged into from a windows PC in the network behind the
client etc. All works fine as far as I can see. When the ssh times out,
the session is closed and openvpn client side stops.
