We put it a few fixes specifically for openstack and non-root ownership
of files and dropping capabilities later on. Please use libreswan-3.12
to ensure you haev all those fixes! You're mixing at least
libreswan-3.9:

* pluto: Drop CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE privs later to support non-root dirs [Paul]

The order matters. If you specify --config and then --ctlbase, the
ctlbase will override the configuration. if you specify --ctlbase
before --config, the config file version will get used.

Those might be the caused by the capabilities fix.

If this does not fix your issues, ping me on pwouters at redhat.com and
I'll bring you in contact with our redhat/openstack guy that was part
of fixing these issues.
