Re: IPFire 2.29 - Core Update 197 is available for testing

Hi All,

Have found a little issue. Not sure if it is critical or not.

My existing connections on OpenVPN are working fine and the network topology has been changed in most places but not in the ccd files.

I have a connection called ipfiretesting which before the upgrade had 10.110.30.5 and 10.110.30.6.

After the upgrade to 197 if I edit the entry it shows that it is using 10.110.30.6

However if I look in /var/ipfire/ovpn/ccd/ipfiretesting it still has the line

ifconfig-push 10.110.26.6 10.110.26.5

If I then create a new client connection then all the ccd files get updated and ipfiretesting now contains

ifconfig-push 10.110.30.6 255.255.255.0

So if a user upgrades but doesn't create a new client connection all the ccd files will stay with the old format. Not sure what this would or wouldn't do for the connection but I think after the upgrade it would be good to update all the ccd files but not sure how to make that happen.

Regards,

Adolf.
