Description Alexandre Oliva 2009-04-30 00:54:09 UTC 
Description of problem:
/etc/init.d/openvpn contains:

        for c in `/bin/ls *.conf 2>/dev/null`; do
            bn=${c%%.conf}
            if [ -f "$bn.sh" ]; then
                . $bn.sh                          # this is line 153
            fi

This fails unless root's PATH contains “.”, because bash searches the PATH in order to source pathnames without slashes.

When source fails, openvpn fails to start any configuration for which a .sh file exists.

The fix is trivial: make line 153 “. ./$bn.sh”
