This is bog standard OpenVPN, so it's reasonable to have something scribbled in the NetworkManager-openvpn package, even something that gets tossed next to the README that's already in there. What also needs to be documented, or I need to get better at searching, is what are the possible values for "option" when doing a modify of vpn.secrets and flags=1. "help" was of no "help". Error: failed to modify vpn.secrets: 'help' is not valid; use <option>=<value>. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
