Hi,

This patch is for Core Update 144, but I am not sure if we can ship it with this.

The update will contain the OpenSSL update that is announced for Tuesday and I would like to be able to release it as soon as possible.

I am not sure what the risk is with this patch delaying that release, so I will let Arne decide.

See below for more...

Normally this should to be a problem. Tar is normally able to replace any binary, even if it is just running.

We definitely need to restart OpenVPN to take advantage of the new version.

Interesting way to stop it. Can we not call openvpnctrl regardless, because it won’t matter if the daemon wasn’t running at all.
