• Dan Langille ☛ Hacking openvpn to use syslog with something other than facility = daemon

It would allow logging openvpn to a specific file and being able to rotate that log file. –log-append does not allow for log rotation. In this post: FreeBSD 15.0 OpenVPN 2.6.19 Signals sent to OpenVPN do not affect logging. Thus, I must rely upon syslog and newsyslog to achieve log rotation.
