5 A common observation with SELinux. Even so, it definitely DOES
6 provide additional security. It is a standard Linux feature and
7 available on Gentoo as well. If the configuration isn't right (and it
8 is easy to get it wrong) then you'll have problems.

10 I forget all the details of SELinux, but you should be able to put it
11 in a mode that logs but does not enforce. Using those logs you should
12 be able to determine exactly what roles/permissions/labels/etc are
13 missing. I suspect that if you just dumped the relevant logs on
14 Fedora's bugzilla that they'd fix their openvpn package for you. If I
15 had a working SELinux setup I wouldn't be too quick to just completely
16 disable it over one package.
