Re: [Openvpn-devel] Is --ifconfig-ipv6-noexec planned ?

Hi,

(copying openvpn-devel back in, as Selva has a surprising explanation
for this)

You are right:

  if (options->ifconfig_noexec)
    {
      options->tuntap_options.ip_win32_type = IPW32_SET_MANUAL;
      options->ifconfig_noexec = false;
    }

(in options.c)

so indeed, it would call do_ifconfig() then, and explicitely not do IPv4,
and then just go forward as if nothing had happened and *do* IPv6.

What a horrible hack...  I hope we can get rid of this as soon as Heiko's
"do windows in the normal order of things" patch has been fully tested
and merged.

I'll open a trac ticket as soon as I have proper Internet again, which
is not paid by the kbyte...
