A common observation with SELinux. Even so, it definitely DOES provide additional security. It is a standard Linux feature and available on Gentoo as well. If the configuration isn't right (and it is easy to get it wrong) then you'll have problems. I forget all the details of SELinux, but you should be able to put it in a mode that logs but does not enforce. Using those logs you should be able to determine exactly what roles/permissions/labels/etc are missing. I suspect that if you just dumped the relevant logs on Fedora's bugzilla that they'd fix their openvpn package for you. If I had a working SELinux setup I wouldn't be too quick to just completely disable it over one package. -- Rich
