libnss-openvpn

==============

The libnss-openvpn name service switch module resolves the name

“xxx.vpn” to the associated xxx machine in the openvpn.server.status

file.

With this module, you can access to a given host from the openvpn server

even if the IP address is not static.

    $ ssh foobar.vpn

You don't need a ccd directory per host any more.

server.status file

==================

The module uses openvpn status file to get the informations. This file

expected location is /var/run/openvpn.server.status.

If the file is missing you can add the following line in your

server.conf file:

    # status /var/run/openvpn.server.status

If you want users to be able to use the module, you will probably

need to relax the security of openvpn.server.status:

    # chmod 644 /var/run/openvpn.server.status

Manual installation

===================

    $ make && make install

To make the system actually use this NSS module, add it to the list of

hosts modules in /etc/nsswitch.conf:

    hosts:          files dns openvpn
