Hi,

>Still no diagnostic info I'm afraid. What is needed is for the problem 
to be reproduced, with the openvpn process which is spinning under 
ktrace. You might need to hack your script to do this i.e. run openvpn 
directly from ktrace. Let it run for a bit, let it spin, then kill it. 
Check that you have kdump output from the openvpn process itself.

Use the -T switch of kdump to get absolute timestamps, watch the 
wallclock time on your system when the spin happens, and post an excerpt 
of the kdump output at that time, which should tell us where openvpn is 
spinning.<

The problem is that I can't kill openvpn once the spin starts. I can do very
little else. Even trying to login on the console does not go any further
than letting me enter a username and password and then it just sits. Even
Ctrl-C on running openvpn interactively on the command line does not work.

I will try some of your suggestions and post back.

Regards
Emile
