Because OpenVPN is running as "nobody:nogroup" and the CRL file must be reread at each client connection, the CRL file must be readable by everyone.

We should either change the shellpki folder and crl file permissions :

# chmod 644 /etc/shellpki/crl.pem
# chmod 755 /etc/shellpki/

Or move the CRL file to another location.

Otherwise, the CRL file has no effect and a revoked client will still be able to connect.
