I have not figured out why this is happening - but:
> service openvpn start
doesn't work
chkconfig | grep openvpn
openvpn 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
rebooting doesn't work
> runlevel N 3
but
/etc/rc.d/init.d/openvpn start
does work.
Would like to understand why reboot and the service command fail.
