    With a latest build and gitsync, I am getting the following error for my OpenVPNs. They are failing to connect.

    Jun 6 07:44:55 openvpn[49428]: Use –help for more information.
    Jun 6 07:44:55 openvpn[49428]: Options error: –client-connect requires --mode server

    I don't know if it is related to the last couple of commits:
    Import OpenVPN cisco style radius attributes applying policy to logge...

    I found an old post from 2010 for version 2.0 Dev builds, but doing what it suggest to get it going is not working.  Please let me know if there is something I can do to correct the issue.

          What shows up in the actual openvpn server config in /var/etc/openvpn?

          And are these clients or servers in each of these cases?

                      ok that's probably from the radius acl import that happened yesterday.

                        Commented the lines out myself and the VPN connects. Was there a commit that put those in there?
