Expected results: I should be able to specifiy my log file by using the log setting in either my openvpn config file or /etc/default/openvpn's OPTARG

Actual results: NM always logs to syslog which makes isolating openvpn log info difficult

if I run openvpn from the command line (below) then it works as expected.
$ /usr/sbin/openvpn --config UltraVPN.ovpn --log openvpn-client.log
