[Watford] OpenVPN

[Alan Secker]

I'm back on to trying to get this to work.

On the server side, I think I have sorted out everything except for the 
static address issue but I want to tackle that separately. My current
problem stems from what happens when I try and start the client side.

This is what happens:

I prepared a client.conf file following someone's instructions (while
understanding little). When I tested it with:

# openvpn /etc/openvpn/client.conf

the following error was generated.

Options error: If you use one of --cert or --key, you must use them both

A comment-stripped copy of the client.conf file, looks like this:

nobind

ca ca.crt
cert netbook.crt

I cannot find anything in the help the doc directory or on the internet 
that explains this. I would greatly appreciate some advice.
