Thanks very much for your response.
I found when following your suggestion
that there was a typo in /etc/openvpn/server.conf
(I had the wrong location for one of the keys).
When I corrected this, and restarted openvpn on both machines,
everything appeared (from /var/log/messages) to be fine.
I have tun0 on my desktop at 192.168.5.1
and tun0 on my laptop at 192.168.5.6 .

I guess my question now is rather different -
I'm not sure what I can do with the connection.
I don't seem able to ssh in either direction.
And ping fails in both directions too.

Here are my server.conf and client.conf :

I don't think there can be anything wrong with my firewall,
or I wouldn't have got this far.

But I am use shorewall on my desktop, 
with the two added lines in /etc/shorewall/rules
------------------------------
ACCEPT          net             $FW             udp     1194
ACCEPT          $FW             net             udp     1194
------------------------------

Again, any help or advice gratefully received.
