Tina,
A point or two.
I have compiled openvpn without any compression, I also compiled vTun and
both are on Box1 i haven't done anything on the Redhat 9.0 box.
Have you compiled *tun* or is it really *vtun* you've compiled on the
box? Note that vtun is a separate product from tun, and openvpn depends
on tun and not vtun. VTun, actually, is a product that is somewhat
similar to openvpn and which itself also works on top of tun.
As to hand-compiling it, shame on you! You don't need to do that!
There are RPMs that can be used to install/configure tun and openvpn,
and using the RPMs ensures that you're installing the product the same
way as everyone else - which means that everyone else has a hope of
debugging your setup. Also, if you just grabbed the tun source, built
it and tried to install it on your 2.4 kernel system, you've at best
wasted time and at worst Totally hosed the tun module that ships with
your kernel - you may need to reinstall the kernel, or at least the
tun.o it ships with.
[Folks, hold me back! Otherwise, I'll rant for an hour again on the
hazards of hand-rolled software cowboys, meta-informational DBs being
out of sync with the filesystem and other risky situations. Then I may
wax on the virtues of RPMs by mentioning that installation and
configuration of (something like) openvpn normally takes 3 minutes per
box and far too little attention span]
