Exactly.  As expected as well.

I had tried that as well.  But got nothing new in terms of debug info, 
so I thought that that running as root was not the solution and there 
was another way to generate more debug info....

[eric@eric-laptop ~]$ sudo /usr/libexec/nm-openvpn-service --debug --persist
[sudo] password for eric:

** (process:2901): CRITICAL **: crypto_get_private_key_data: assertion 
`password != NULL' failed

** (process:2901): CRITICAL **: crypto_get_private_key_data: assertion 
`password != NULL' failed
** Message: <info>  openvpn started with pid 2909



Is there something else I can do?

Thanks,

Eric
