[CentOS] Suddenly OpenVPN not working - backgrounds prompt for username / password

Hi folks,

I'm on a fresh install of CentOS 7 and take my config that works on Ubuntu on the same box. Instead of getting a prompt for username and password for the VPN I get a backgrounded task that spits this out :

[amckay@centos-gig ~]$ sudo openvpn --config /home/amckay/data/vpn.ovpn --daemon

Broadcast message from root@centos-gig (Sat 2015-07-25 22:59:13 EDT):

Password entry required for 'Enter Auth Username:' (PID 23461). Please enter password with the systemd-tty-ask-password-agent tool!

[amckay@centos-gig ~]$

I actually started having the same problem at work when trying to connect to our management network. Different config file. CentOS 7 though. Same config file works great on Ubuntu.

Been googling it but not much luck.

thanks, -Alan
