one would hope not ;)  i'; assuming that  the easiest approach is not 
available(console access). if sshd is listening on all 
interfaces(physical and tun) try ssh'ing to the tun ip  or the lan ip of 
you openvpn box. if tcp wrappers, iptables, and sudo is setup correctly, 
you should be able to accomplish your goal.

perhaps you should post this question to a different mailing list..........



good luck.
