          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?
