I installed openvpn in a fresh 42.3 and copied the configuration files from a working installation into /etc/openvpn/ . I then tried with Yast to enable and start the openvpn@.service provided by the package, This failed with message Failed to get properties: Unit name openvpn@.service is not valid. So I defined service unit /usr/lib/systemd/system/openvpn.service (no @) [Unit] Description=OpenVPN tunneling daemon instance using /etc/openvpn/server.conf After=network.target PartOf=openvpn.target [Service] Type=forking PrivateTmp=true PIDFile=/var/run/openvpn/server.pid ExecStart=/usr/sbin/openvpn --daemon --suppress-timestamps --writepid /var/run/openvpn/server.pid --cd /etc/openvpn/ --config server.conf ExecReload=/sbin/killproc -p /var/run/openvpn/server.pid -HUP /usr/sbin/openvpn [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target openvpn.target This service unit is the same as openvpn@.service, but explicitly specifies where the configuration files are and where the pid goes. I enabled openvpn.service with Yast and successfully started it with command systemctl start openvpn.service . Why does the package provide the extra %i and %I engineering which doesn't work?
