O, that's the reason. I first missed OpenVPN in Extras and started to
create an RPM my own, until I found your contribution being in CVS
without any build request.

Create %{_localstatedir}/run/openvpn/ with the RPM and not by init
script run.

I have some wishes:
1) Don't make --enable-pthread active for stable FC3 / FC4 builds, only
development, due to it's experimental state.
2) Let us make some compile options selectable, like
--enable-password-save or --disable-lzo.
3) Check for init script to be made more Fedora style. Using
/etc/sysconfig/openvpn for default settings like user / group the tunnel
runs under. Let a user kill or restart the tunnel running under his own
uid/gid (useful for OpenVPN client tunnels).
4) Compilation agains lzo2 could be prepared for very soon to be
released OpenVPN 2.0.1. lzo2 will be in Extras, I got approval. It
offers encryption speed improvements on x86_64 arch.

Alexander
