Details

The openvpn .service file uses the following command line:

ExecStart=/usr/sbin/openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/%i.conf --daemon openvpn@%i --cd /etc/openvpn

But the --cd argument should be the first argument:

ExecStart=/usr/sbin/openvpn --cd /etc/openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/%i.conf --daemon openvpn@%i

If --cd is added after --config, you can't use the 'cd' directive in the config file (at least not with a relative path).
This task depends upon

I attached a patch in case my description of the fix was to vague.
I should probably add that the argument order I'm proposing is the one also used by the old ArchLinux initscript and Ubuntu.

Oh, I forgot to add this when updating to 2.3. Will add this next time (there's another bug to fix in 2.3).
