libnss-openvpn
==============
The libnss-openvpn name service switch module resolves the name
“xxx.vpn” to the associated xxx machine in the openvpn.server.status
file.
With this module, you can access to a given host from the openvpn server
even if the IP address is not static.
$ ssh foobar.vpn
You don't need a ccd directory per host any more.
server.status file
==================
The module uses openvpn status file to get the informations. This file
expected location is /var/run/openvpn.server.status.
If the file is missing you can add the following line in your
server.conf file:
# status /var/run/openvpn.server.status
If you want users to be able to use the module, you will probably
need to relax the security of openvpn.server.status:
# chmod 644 /var/run/openvpn.server.status
Manual installation
===================
$ make && make install
To make the system actually use this NSS module, add it to the list of
hosts modules in /etc/nsswitch.conf:
hosts: files dns openvpn
