Package: openvpn Version: 2.3.2-9 Severity: normal After startup (e.g. authentication prompts), openvpn fails to detach from its stdin/stdout/stderr. This leads to predictable problems, such as:
If you restart the service from an ssh session, exiting the ssh session is slow -- ssh seems to detect that it's some background process holding on to the pty, but it gives it several seconds to time out. If the restart happens from some kind of script whose output is being piped (e.g. via cron, or to mail, ...) that pipe never closes, and so cron will sit there forever waiting for it. I realize openvpn needs to be attached to the terminal initially for authentication prompts, but after that it ought to detach from its stdin/stdout/stderr like any normal daemon. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.14-1-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages openvpn depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.53 ii initscripts 2.88dsf-53.2 ii iproute2 3.16.0-1 ii libc6 2.19-7 ii liblzo2-2 2.08-1 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3 ii libpkcs11-helper1 1.11-1 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1i-1 Versions of packages openvpn recommends: ii easy-rsa 2.2.2-1 Versions of packages openvpn suggests: ii openssl 1.0.1i-1 pn resolvconf <none> -- debconf information: openvpn/create_tun: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
