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:

Can't locate Net/Telnet.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/libDrakX /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at /usr/lib/libDrakX/network/vpn/openvpn.pm line 360.

To submit a bug report, click on the report button.
This will open a web browser window on Bugzilla where you'll find a form to fill in. The information displayed above will be transferred to that server.
Things useful to include in your report are the output of lspcidrake -v, kernel version, and /proc/cpuinfo.
*************************************************************************

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

Code:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::Telnet'
