The 'nobody' user and groups gets setup by the SAMBA script from OTRW. However if you try to use those options in the server config for OpenVPN, the log says
Code:
failed to find GID for group nobody: No such file or directory (errno=2)


Any ideas?

Well I figured it out in case anyone else cares. Smile If anybody's setup it like mine where the openvpn starts in the 'startup' script, the 'nobody' group/user doesn't get created until after the openvpn daemon has started. So therefor you need to add the commands to create the 'nobody' group/user in the 'startup' script before the openvpn daemon is started. I commented out the creation of this user from the S80samba script just so there was no issue.
