[frank]

Package: network-manager-openvpn
Version: 0.8.1-1
Severity: normal


Hi,

I am trying to get openvpn running. After several attemps with I have it now in a state where it silently does nothing.
I then exported the configuration and did

$ sudo openvpn xx.conf
Tue Aug 10 20:33:00 2010 OpenVPN 2.1.0 i486-pc-linux-gnu [SSL] [LZO2] [EPOLL] [PKCS11] [MH] [PF_INET6] [eurephia] built on Jul  9 2010

Tue Aug 10 20:33:00 2010 failed to find GID for group openvpn
Tue Aug 10 20:33:00 2010 Exiting


$ cat xx.conf 
client
remote blabla
ca blabla_ca.crt
cert blabla_client.crt
key blabla_client.key
dev tun
proto udp
nobind
auth-nocache
script-security 2
persist-key
persist-tun
user openvpn
group openvpn

Somehow neither the usernor the group openvpn were created on my system.
Did I miss anything?

kind regards
  Frank
