Some problems: [admin@tamarack CA-DB]$ echo "01" | cat > serial [admin@tamarack CA-DB]$ touch index.txt [admin@tamarack admin]$ It appears you did "cd", but you don't say so. I can't tell what dir you're in when you're running the subsequent commands. The next step won't work at all, unless you either edit the default system openssl.cnf (/usr/share/ssl/openssl.cnf on Linux Fedora core 2) to change "dir" or copy openssl.cnf to "./", and edit: dir = /home/nbecker/CA-DB/ # Where everything is kept Later on, it says: "After creating the server certificate we can go about creating certificates for all of the clients that we want to give VPN access to as well." OK, but how? Example? ____________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users |
