At the command line, it works fine:
[root@neghvar storm]# openvpn --mktun --dev tun0
Wed Mar 3 22:37:17 2004 0[0]: TUN/TAP device tun0 opened
Wed Mar 3 22:37:17 2004 1[0]: Persist state set to: ON
I tried this approach in a couple of ways. First I added it to my openvpn config as
dev tun
mktun
I then tried adding it to /etc/init.d/openvpn, as
start_vpn () {
$DAEMON --mktun --dev tun0 --daemon --writepid /var/run/openvpn.$NAME.pid \
--config $CONFIG_DIR/$NAME.conf --cd $CONFIG_DIR || echo -n " FAILED
->"
echo -n " $NAME"
}
Both cases, openvpn gave me
Mar 3 22:27:03 neghvar openvpn[716]: Options error: options --mktun or
--rmtun should only be used together with --dev
Should I run the openvpn --mktun --dev tun0 before starting the regular openvpn command?

Stay out of clouds. The silver lining everyone keeps talking
about might be another airplane going in the opposite direction.
Reliable sources also report that mountains have been known to hide
out in clouds.
