In commit 4e1cc5f6dda22e9 the create_temp_filename() function was
reviewed and hardened, which in the end renamed this function to
create_temp_file() in commit 495e3cec5d156.
With these changes it became more evident that OpenVPN needs a directory
where it can create temporary files. The create_temp_file() will create
such files f.ex. if --client-connect or --plugin which makes use of
the OPENVPN_PLUGIN_AUTH_USER_PASS_VERIFY hook, such as openvpn-auth-pam.so.
When this happens, OpenVPN will normally create these files in the directory
OpenVPN was started. In many cases, this will fail due to restricted access.
By using --tmp-dir and pointing it to a directory writeable to the user
running OpenVPN, it works again.
This patch makes OpenVPN use a more suitable temproary directory by default,
instead of the current working directory. On non-Windows platforms this
default value is set to '/tmp', but can be modified at compile-time by
running ./configure --with-tmp-dir-path=<TEMP DIR PATH>. On Windows, it
will use GetTempPath() to find temporary paths recommended by the OS. If
this fails, it will fallback to the old behaviour, using the directory
where OpenVPN was started.
In any cases, this default value can be overridden in the configuration
file by using the --tmp-dir option, as before.
To check what the default is at runime, you can see this easily by doing
this:
$ ./openvpn --verb 4 --dev tun | grep tmp_dir

The main task of this patch is to avoid reporting the SCRIPT_SECURITY_WARNING
over and over again, in addition to not show this warning when it should not
be a problem. This general warning should now only appear once, and only when
--script-security is not set, 0 or 1. In all other cases this warning should
not appear.
In addition, this warning will come close to the script-hook which most probably
will fail. It will also give a little bit more concrete hint on which script-hook
which failed. If --script-security is 2 or 3, only the execve failure itself will
be shown. This message will on the other hand be shown repeatedly.
This is a new rewritten version which simplifies the implementaion of the new
openvpn_run_script() function. It was considered to remove it completely, but
due to code clearity and easy of use it was decided to make this function a static
inline function instead. Anyhow, this function will enforce openvpn_execve_check()
to be called with the S_SCRIPT flag.
Patch ACKed on the developers meeting 2009-04-29.

or "dhcp-renew" options were combined with "route-gateway dhcp".
The problem is that the IP Helper functions for DHCP release and
renew are blocking, and so calling them from a single-threaded
client stops tunnel traffic forwarding, and hence breaks
"route-gateway dhcp" which requires an active tunnel. The fix is
to call the IP Helper functions for DHCP release and renew from
another process.
Version 2.1_rc21b.

* All external programs and scripts are now called by execve() on unix and
CreateProcess on Windows.
* The system() function is no longer used.
* Argument lists for external programs and scripts are now built by the new
argv_printf function which natively outputs to string arrays (i.e.
char *argv[] lists), never truncates its output, and eliminates the security
issues inherent in formatting and parsing command lines, and dealing with
argument quoting.
* The --script-security directive has been added to offer policy controls on
OpenVPN's execution of external programs and scripts.
Also added a new plugin example (openvpn/plugin/examples/log.c) that logs
information to stdout for every plugin method called by OpenVPN.
