#40 closed Bug / Defect (fixed)

Documentation bug in the manual: explicit-exit-notify

Reported by: Samuli Seppänen Owned by: David Sommerseth
Priority: major Milestone: beta 2.2
Component: Documentation Version: OpenVPN 2.1.0 / 2.1.1 (Community Ed)
Severity: Not set (select this one, unless your'e a OpenVPN developer) Keywords:

Description

In the manuals for 2.0.9 and 2.1, the n parameter to --explicit-exit-notify is described as the number of *retries*, which is misleading.
One could think that when n=0, there is one try and no retries, but when n=0 there is no notification at all.

My suggestion is to replace 'retries' with 'tries'.

Clarified --explicit-exit-notify man page entry


Reformulated parts of this entry to clarify that the OpenVPN
will not attempt notifying the server unless this option is used.


This misunderstanding was reported anonymously to the old SF.net
tracker.
