answering myself - maybe some other kind soul will save some minutes.

Tried opening openvpn form shell, which gave me the necessary input:

the password file needs to have the user in one line, passwort after carriage return.

Using complete paths in the config file also was of great help to make it work (I am keeping the certs etc in a subdirectory of openvpn to make things digestible).

config file now goes like this:

Code:

client
dev tun
fast-io
persist-key
persist-tun
nobind
remote vpn.snugglysnugglyplace.co.uk 1194
pull
comp-lzo
tls-client
tls-remote server
ns-cert-type server
tls-auth /etc/openvpn/ssl/ta.key 1
ca /etc/openvpn/ssl/ca.crt
cipher AES-256-CBC
verb 3
mute 10
auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/password via-file
