OpenVPN BSDAuth

What

A small helper application that makes it possible to authenticate OpenVPN users against the BSD Authentication System. BSD Auth is an authentication system originally of BSD/OS origins, similar in purpose to the well-known PAM mechanism, these days only to be found in OpenBSD.

Essentially, it makes it possible for OpenVPN to authenticate users against the OpenBSD system password database.

It is of no use to users of other systems.
