open service configuration
openvpn shows enabled and DEAD

It just won't start at bootup

Comment 1 Perazim 2009-11-28 15:24:50 UTC

Have now discovered that openvpn appears to be started before NetworkManager is started. Disabling NetworkManager and enabling network allows openvpn to start as expected. Someone needs to update the openvpn scripts so that openvpn may be used with NetworkManager.
