Description Peter Müller 2023-08-23 14:02:00 UTC 
While testing Core Update 179, I just encountered the misc-prog for OpenVPN is not properly terminating the openvpn-authenticator process, as the latter has a different cmdline in the process table that the one openvpnctrl is looking for:

root     32270  0.0  0.2  16312 10352 ?        S    15:50   0:00 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/sbin/openvpn-authenticator -d

It tries to run the following, which does not work:

# killall /usr/sbin/openvpn-authenticator
/usr/sbin/openvpn-authenticator: no process found

This bug does not seem to have any major consequences, but does not strike me as intended behaviour nevertheless.

This is going to be fixed with OpenVPN 2.6.

This has now been moved to a new initscript and the daemon is properly being terminated.
