Bug Description

Binary package hint: openvpn

The openvpn initscript wrongly sets --script-security 2 on the command line to handle backwards compatibility, even if script-security is specified in the config file.
This Bug is only triggered, if openvpn starts multiple daemons. If the first daemon started does not have script-security in its configuration, the initscript sets script_security but does not reset it for subsequent daemons.

Tested with 10.04, but the bug is present in 11.10 aswell.
I attached a patch that fixes the problem.
