Of course I have tested this, very scientifically, like "do two runs
with and without sufficient permissions on a DCO-enabled system" :-)
Patch has been applied to the master branch.

If we get a permission denied error on one DCO device, trying 255 more times will not succeed, and just fill the log file with errors. Also, remove the msg() call there because it was at debug level (needed --verb 4 to be seen), didn't see the correct errno, and the sitnl code already prints the error. v2: use "else if" Signed-off-by: Gert Doering <gert@greenie.muc.de> --- src/openvpn/tun.c | 9 +++++++-- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
