Slackware 13.0 x86_64 is released as stable! Thanks to everyone who
helped make this release possible -- see the RELEASE_NOTES for the
credits. The ISOs are off to the replicator. This time it will be a
6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD.
We're taking pre-orders now at store.slackware.com. Please consider
picking up a copy to help support the project. Once again, thanks to
the entire Slackware community for all the help testing and fixing
things and offering suggestions during this development cycle.
As always, have fun and enjoy! -P.

This is +by design. OpenVPN can technically use any config file in any location. +However, this script does create an /etc/openvpn/ directory with certs/ +and keys/ subdirectories. Feel free to place config files, keys, and +certificates in these directories. certs/ and keys/ are owned by user +root and group nobody and are not world readable nor writable. +Additionally, they are not writable by group nobody. It is recommended +that you run openvpn nobody:nobody, but you may use another +non-privilaged user and group at your option. Just change the +permissions on these permissions to reflect that if you do. + |
