openvpn2 @2.4.0: startupitem needs syslog

[smradman (Stefan Radman)]

When loading openvpn2 with port load openvpn2 the output does not get to syslog (tested with 2.4.0). The example server.conf mentions that

# By default, log messages will go to the syslog (or

which apparently is only true in --daemon mode (at least for 2.4.0). Starting openvpn2 on a terminal without options sends the output to stdin/stdout/stderr.

Since daemondo closes stdin, stdout and stderr it should direct openvpn2 to syslog e.g.

<key>Label</key><string>org.macports.openvpn2</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
        <string>/opt/local/bin/daemondo</string>
        <string>--label=openvpn2</string>
        <string>--start-cmd</string>
        <string>/opt/local/sbin/openvpn2</string>
        <string>--syslog</string>
        <string>--config</string>
