Description of problem: openvpn fails to start at boot. config was migrated from production f-11 system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openvpn-2.1-0.37.rc20.fc12.i686 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot machine with openvpn enabled 2. 3. Actual results: no openvpn, nothing in logs Expected results: Additional info: Boot F-12 openvpn does not start. chkconfig --list openvpn shows 2,3,4,5 on no entries from openvpn appear in messages or security logs open service configuration openvpn shows enabled and DEAD click start for openvpn shows running normal entries appear in log one can also start openvpn by /etc/init.d/openvpn start and this works. It just won't start at bootup
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.
