Hello everyone. Can someone give me pointers on figuring out why OpenVPN and OpenSSH will not start?

When I select VPN:OpenVPN:Clients and press the start icon I get a green icon. But when I return to the dashboard The red stop button is there as if it's running.

When I go to Connection Status under OpenVPN it's there also. I have rebooted, shut the system totally down and the same behavior.

I tried to log in through the shell and found OpenSSH was not running. What would cause these services to not start?

What can I do to reinstall these apps, or what ever is preventing them from starting?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated,

James
