[Openvpn-devel] Openvpn for RH62 - eek!

[bishop <bi...@pl...>]

James, Folks,

I noticed a minor problem as my RH62 box started up:

> $Starting openvpn: /etc/rc.d/init.d/openvpn: [: ==: binary operator expected

That's two distinct, common errors:
  - $localization stuff that doesn't work on bash1
  - an == in a [] in the script.

These are both directly related to the fact that the standard bash on 
RH62 is bash1.  We can fix compatibility in a few ways:
  - ignore the odd $localization $artefact and make the one change to 
the init script (as if we did perl -pi -e 's:==:=:' to is) in one place.

OR
  - this patch:

Super-trivial, but I'm wondering about any possible complications with 
either approach.  As it is now, we do have a valid bug in that, on RH62, 
openVPN will not start.

(I also noticed I can start it multiple times.  This may be another 
problem - service openvpn start ; service openvpn start ; service 
openvpn start ; service openvpn start - because it should normally 
generate a minor gripe message)

Anyway, whatever the consensus, I can submit a patch.
