Installing OpenVPN 2.x on Fedora Core 2

Original HOWTO: http://www.wintunnel.com/OpenVPN.html

Current Status: Built a fresh FC2 box from a net boot CD, used mirrors.kernel.org as the http source via T1, deselected all packages except for Development Tools, followed the HOWTO, and was up and running within a few hours.

Update (20040714):

	> Had a request for OpenVPN to restart automatically if already running
	> and 'service network restart' is executed. Copy-n-paste from the
	> current web page to overwrite the previous ifup-pre-local file.
	> 
	> Other is added 'chroot /etc/openvpn' to ovpnUDP.conf.

Update (20040719):

	> Peer review indicates a couple of non-critical logic errors in
	> ifup-pre-local (omitted conjunctive and a bash shell grouping
	> limitation). Both corrected. 
	> 
	> Also, all tests now return [ OK ] or [ FAILED].
	> 
	> Previous installations should implement current ifup-pre-local.

Update (20040819):

OpenVPN Version 2.0-beta11 installed perfectly. If you are installing before Ray's instructions have been updated, make sure to change all references of beta10 to beta11. Also, make sure to backup your config files, etc., for the 'Clean' script will remove them (ie. everything in /etc/openvpn will be nuked).
