Description of problem: Like man openvpn states: remote_{n} The --remote parameter. Set on program initiation and reset on SIGHUP. The remote_1 parameter should hold the remote ip for the connection. When I try this: [root@choeger6 ~]# openvpn --secret /home/choeger/cert/static.key --dev tun --ifconfig 10.1.0.2 10.1.0.1 --remote 130.149.11.235 --up printenv1.sh | grep remote (/usr/bin/printenv.sh just calls printenv without params) I only get: ifconfig_remote=10.1.0.1 remote_port_1=1194 Obviously there should also be remote_1=130.149.11.235 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openvpn-2.1-0.26.rc8.fc9.i386 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. see above Actual results: No environment variable remote_{n} is set Expected results: remote_1 should hold the remote ip. Additional info: NetworkManager-openvpn relies on this feature, as nm-openvpn-service-helper is run as an --up script and needs to get the remote ip. This makes this bug a bad showstopper.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
