OpenVPN reset to defaults

[davepnw]

Trying to get OpenVPN working again on a remote RT-N66U (Merlin Firmware: RT-N66U_3.0.0.4_374.40_0) - is there any way (via SSH or otherwise) to reset the OpenVPN services settings back to all defaults?

As the /etc/init.d/openvpn script (which is what gets executed by /usr/sbin/service) does not offer any options to do it (at least with ubuntu-10.04), the answer is no.

But since it is all scripts, you can just edit /etc/init.d/openvpn and add something like

named-restart)
log_action_begin_msg "Restarting $DESC $2"
PIDFILE="/var/run/openvpn.${2}.pid"
NAME=$2
log_daemon_msg " Stopping VPN '$NAME'"
stop_vpn
sleep 1
log_daemon_msg " Restarting VPN '$NAME'"
start_vpn
if test -z "$PIDFILE" ; then
log_warning_msg " VPN $2 is not running."
fi
;;
after the

case "$1" in
dirctive. Later, you can simply call service openvpn named-restart <vpn-name>.
