You may noticed that with recent bunch of updates your OpenVPN client may stopped working. The error was:
Thu May 23 09:26:35 2013 PLUGIN_INIT: could not load plugin shared object
/usr/lib64/openvpn/plugin/lib/openvpn-down-root.so:
/usr/lib64/openvpn/plugin/lib/openvpn-down-root.so: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory: No such file or directory (errno=2)
Thu May 23 09:26:35 2013 Exiting due to fatal error
The openvpn package version was bumped in Fedora 18 for some reasons from 2.2 to 2.3. In the new version, the down root plugin has been renamed. If your OpenVPN script had this line:
plugin /usr/lib64/openvpn/plugin/lib/openvpn-down-root.so /etc/openvpn/client.down
or
plugin openvpn-down-root.so /etc/openvpn/client.down
You need to change it to
plugin openvpn-plugin-down-root.so /etc/openvpn/client.down
Note that path has changed too, from /usr/lib64/openvpn/plugin/ to /usr/lib64/openvpn/plugins/, but you usually don’t need to provide it.
Take care!
