new Linux user here. I was trying to automate the launch of OpenVPN, by placing this code into a .sh file and then launching it.



openvpn --config vpnbook-us1-tcp443.ovpn


After executing this command, I am brought to a text prompt where I am supposed to input the username (vpnbook) and then the password. Is there a command that will allow me to automatically input these two sections of text so that I don't have to type them in every time? Thanks.

          Create a file to hold your auth details, with the first line being that username and the second being your password.



          You can then modify your .ovpn file, adding a line:
          auth-user-pass THATFILE



          That should automatically handle those details for you.

          Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
