[TriLUG] Need quick openvpn setup help

[Michael Kimsal]

Hi Glenn:

I didn't write the reply yesterday - that was someone else.  I do have ssh
set up
and could let you in.  I'd think other things would need to be handled on
site, like
helping me configure my laptop to be able to access from the outside (at the
outset,
I have an external server that could be configured instead).

ssh is set up.  the server is a stock ubuntu-server install (32 bit, v 7.10).
openvpn
was installed via apt-get install openvpn, but there's still a lot of
configuration that I can't
wade through.

if you can definitely come on site tomorrow, that'd be good.  I'm heading
out of the
country on wednesday morning, and would like to know I have remote access
to our files.  Also, we have a remote employee in holland running ubuntu
7.10 as well
(64 bit) and I'd like to be able to get him set up on vpn before i leave as
well.

Lastly, I will need to be able to set up a mac client.  whatever setup
materials I need to have
I'd have to take with me when I go on Wednesday morning.  It's not
*required*
 but it's a huge nice to have.

What are your rates?
