topology does work on mac osx with a manual work arround (was Re: [Openvpn-users] topology subnet 2.1beta7 mac osx - ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Destination address required

[Jon B. <jon...@la...>]

Hi

Sundman from #openvpn had some suggestions and they appears to be  
working.
i had to remove the pull/client statement from the client.conf and  
run this manually
	sudo ifconfig tun0 192.168.123.253/24 192.168.123.253
	sudo route add -net 192.168.123.0 192.168.123.253 255.255.255.0

It does work.
I can ping, and if i add a route to the network beyond the VPN  
network i can
ping and surf on those hosts as well
	sudo route add -net 192.168.119.0 192.168.123.34 255.255.255.0

So topology does work on mac OSX.
