I don't know. The CRL has a lifetime of one month from what Erik has mentioned on the forum. I found that it had expired on my production system but I tend to only use it when I am visiting family/friends so hadn't noticed.

In the forum I think there have been 5 or 6 people who have flagged up a problem or that red the post and then fed back that they had made the change to the ovpn-crl-updater script and that it had worked.

Since that original number there have been no more mentions.

I think we should do that anyway.

That would deal with anyone doing an update. That might be good to do.

If I understand correctly any change made won't end up in the released iso/image but any new install that immediately created an OpenVPN connection would then have a month before it needed to be updated and CU187 would then be out.

Adolf.
