[lug] OpenVPN no Open

[gordongoldin at aim.com]

 I upgraded from FC6 to FC7
I can't start openVPN.? It looks like root owns the pid directory.
Nobody else has write permission.
I can start it by hand as root: openvpn server.conf
Works fine.
I've upgraded all the way from FC3 - never had this problem before.
Ideas?
I did try making /var/run/openvpn owned by user:group openvpn
Didn't work.

# service openvpn start
Starting openvpn:????????????????????????????????????????? [FAILED]

Open error on pid file /var/run/openvpn/server.pid: Permission denied (errno=13)

# rm /var/run/openvpn/server.pid
rm: cannot remove `/var/run/openvpn/server.pid': No such file or directory
# cd /var/run/openvpn
# ls -la
total 16
drwxr-xr-x? 2 root root 4096 2007-04-26 08:46 .
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 2007-11-20 15:09 ..
