open vpn is set to run under the openvpn user and group (default gentoo |
| 19 |
- drop privileges) It also creates a log file with the same privileges |
| 20 |
as ipp.txt and logging is working ok. I've tried using |
| 21 |
/etc/openvpn/ipp.txt (default, both with and without path specifier) and |
| 22 |
/tmp/ipp.txt. |
