start openvpn client on boot fedora 17 64bit

[Brian West]

I have an account with strong vpn im trying to get openvpn to start on 
boot in fedora 17 but it is not playing nice at all people say set it up 
in network manager but with strongvpn you login via a cert thats 
included inside your config file.  how can i start it as a service i 
followed the steps in the wikki with no luck.  can i make /etc/rc.local 
executable then place the command in there?

thanks

Brian

No need, see:

That should have all the steps to get it set...
