Hey, newbie here with a fresh Gentoo install.


I'm setting up mullvad-vpn, using ebuild from GURU, so far so 
good.  I'd like to have a an init script to start the daemon, 
basically like this:

`/etc/init.d/mullvad-daemon`
``` shell
#!/sbin/openrc-run
command=/usr/bin/mullvad-daemon
command_background="yes"
```

running the above script with `doas rc-service mullvad-daemon 
start` results in:
 `* rc-service: Permission denied` *even as root user/doas/sudo*


As I said, I'm new to openrc.  I looked at 
<https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Full/Working#Layout>, 
am I missing something?  Why would this error be produced?

Did you chmod +x /etc/init.d/mullvad-daemon?  Having the wrong file
permissions can result in permission errors even when using elevated
privileges.

Fixed! Thanks, was still viewing it as a conf file & didn't think 
of chmod +x
