This is true. I was not trying to criticize your specific post. I apologize if mine seemed to implicate that I was. My statement to the OP was even trying to re-enforce the openvpn package by suggesting alternate methods of dealing with it. I was simply trying to point out to the list that even when you use the correct tools, if you are trying to learn about a subject, have little knowledge on the subject, and you receive an overwhelming amount of possible answers, the task looks daunting and asking for help shouldn't be frowned upon. I was trying to re-enforce that idea. ~Stack~ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
