    I stilt hink %{_initrddir}/openvpn is the 'right(tm) thing' to use.
Wouldn't it be better to override %_initrddir for SuSE 9.1 (or any SuSE)
instead of branching %files (%define _initrddir %{_sysconfdir}/init.d)?
I wish rpm was much more compatible between distros, but Mandrake's rpm
differs too :(
    Can someone check these on mandrake? I verified %_initrddir is
fine for FC1, FC2 and FC3 (most likely for RH9 and ASP Linux too).
