OpenVPN SSL configuration
 

Hello,

I'm having trouble connecting to a Smoothwall VPN server which has been configured to use OpenVPN. The connections work great for me when I'm using WinXP, but I would like to now figure out how to configure my Mandriva 2008 to connect with the tap adapter. When I try, drakvpn crashes and gives the following output:

The "drakvpn" program has crashed with the following error:

I have submitted this to bugzilla but I thought I'd try here also since most likely this is not a bug rather PEBKAC on my part.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

As you can see from the error the program is not working because a required perl module is not present on your system you need to install Net::Telnet

Fixed!
 

That was it, Thank you!
