OpenVPN: trouble sourcing vars file


Hello,

I am trying to install openvpn on fedora 8. I am following the how to on OpenVpn's website but I am running into a problem when I try to source the vars file to build the master certificate. Here is the error I get:

PHP Code:

NOTE: If you run ./clean-all, I will be doing a rm -rf on /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys 
Here is my vars file, I removed some of the sensitive info at the bottom:

PHP Code:
# easy-rsa parameter settings

# NOTE: If you installed from an RPM,
# don't edit this file in place in
# /usr/share/openvpn/easy-rsa --
# instead, you should copy the whole
# easy-rsa directory to another location
# (such as /etc/openvpn) so that your
# edits will not be wiped out by a future
# OpenVPN package upgrade.

# This variable should point to
# the top level of the easy-rsa
# tree.
export EASY_RSA="/etc/openvpn/easy-rsa"

#
# This variable should point to
# the requested executables
#
export OPENSSL="openssl"
export PKCS11TOOL="pkcs11-tool"
export GREP="grep"


# This variable should point to
# the openssl.cnf file included
# with easy-rsa.
export KEY_CONFIG=`$EASY_RSA/2.0/openssl.cnf $EASY_RSA`

# Edit this variable to point to
# your soon-to-be-created key
# directory.
#
# WARNING: clean-all will do
# a rm -rf on this directory
# so make sure you define
# it correctly!
export KEY_DIR="$EASY_RSA/keys"

# Issue rm -rf warning
echo NOTE: If you run ./clean-allI will be doing a rm -rf on $KEY_DIR

# Increase this to 2048 if you
# are paranoid.  This will slow
# down TLS negotiation performance
# as well as the one-time DH parms
# generation process.
export KEY_SIZE=1024

# In how many days should the root CA key expire?
export CA_EXPIRE=3650

# In how many days should certificates expire?
export KEY_EXPIRE=3650

# These are the default values for fields
# which will be placed in the certificate.
# Don't leave any of these fields blank.
export KEY_COUNTRY="US"
export KEY_PROVINCE="NY"
export KEY_CITY="Milton"
export KEY_ORG="XXXX"
export KEY_EMAIL="XXXX" 
If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply,

I made the change to what you had and now I get this error:

PHP Code:
-bash: /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/whichopensslcnfNo such file or directory
