How do we get VPN's to work in Void?  I installed NetworkManager-openvpn 
and setup the gateway, user/pass, ca cert, and lzo compression.  What else 
do I need to do to get VPN working in Void?

At the moment, the only error message I get is rather vague:

"The VPN connection 'pia' failed because the VPN service failed to start."

Apparently it couldn't find the binary. Thanks voidz0r for making me 
realize I didn't have a logging daemon running, and also that I needed to 
make a symlink.

Had to do this:

ln -s /usr/bin/openvpn /usr/sbin/openvpn  

Perhaps I'm a bit behind the times atm.

This is not the real solution...

Yea, that's what I ment by being "behind the times".  I should probably fix 
it the rest of the way.
