[gentoo-user] Strange symptoms, can't identify cause

[Grant <emailgrant@gmail.com>]

I was just on the phone with a buddy of mine to get my system
connecting to his via VPN.   I followed his instructions (he uses Red
Hat) and now I have two problems.

1. An openvpn process starts at boot and has a different pid each time
I check on it with ps.  /etc/init.d/openvpn is not started
automatically.  I even tried moving the initscript out of /etc/init.d/
but the openvpn process still starts.
2. Ekiga (formerly Gnomemeeting) now times out trying to connect to his SIP.

We can't figure out how to fix either of these problems.  I did the
following to get myself in this predicament.

1. emerge openvpn
2. created /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf
3. ran an openvpn command of his
4. added TUN module support to the kernel
5. ran make modules && make modules_install
6. modprobe tun

Now I have the problems mentioned above even after rebooting.

I feel like my system has been infected with non-Gentoo procedures and
it's freaking me out.  Can anyone help?
