Which is actually somewhat underlining the point :-) - if you absolutely need to do this outside of OpenVPN, it can be done, but how to do that depends on interface technology used, specific distribution used (what if your distribution doesn't *have* udhcp?), etc. Personally, I tend to=20 - either do it by run-time-parsing of "ip addr show" and feeding to "openvpn --local $ip" in a script-wrapper - or try to understand why this is needed in the first place :-) - I still don't understand why not binding to anything + --multihome isn't working As for including the patch, in either form, I'd rather wait for the to-be-implemented-and-cleaned-up "multi-listen" infrastructure that someone will hopefully implement for 2.3... gert --=20 USENET is *not* the non-clickable part of WWW! //www.muc.de/~ge= rt/ Gert Doering - Munich, Germany gert@...1296... fax: +49-89-35655025 gert@...1297... --Ln+iIw7POnzHEEo5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (NetBSD) iQCVAwUBTX0BGakuBuNlUUl1AQJLNwP/S5k6FmwxA6lZCfm1D6VyEQk6BMpGqV9b 2z97Xz7bVrseQmQ84UuusbzF26qS2AaAgYEhEeXzZfjE+D+EEa82Cxb4lvYDqPKD JLeLhnUVqszA2LxxYqeIJBoK1E6FoNzg8UJZC7BZneCIFbl2aOK+YAWJE3063OP7 06v8GifPI6c= =pBDn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Ln+iIw7POnzHEEo5--
