Everything looks ok from a binaries perspective
[root@localhost ~]# which openvpn
/usr/sbin/openvpn
[root@localhost ~]# which service
/sbin/service
/etc/init.d/openvpn shows /usr/sbin/openvpn as the command.
[root@localhost ~]# ls /etc/openvpn
ca.crt CEF7E9B8-CAF6E7F5-3B055E97-98622E26-6BC59748.crt
CEF7E9B8-CAF6E7F5-3B055E97-98622E26-6BC59748.key client.conf
Anyone else have any ideas where I look next?
Thanks,
Steve
