-down-root -- an OpenVPN Plugin Module
-
-SYNOPSIS
-
-The down-root module allows an OpenVPN configuration to
-call a down script with root privileges, even when privileges
-have been dropped using --user/--group/--chroot.
-
-This module uses a split privilege execution model which will
-fork() before OpenVPN drops root privileges, at the point where
-the --up script is usually called. The module will then remain
-in a wait state until it receives a message from OpenVPN via
-pipe to execute the down script. Thus, the down script will be
-run in the same execution environment as the up script.
-
-BUILD
-
-Build this module with the "make" command. The plugin
-module will be named openvpn-down-root.so
-
-USAGE
-
-To use this module, add to your OpenVPN config file:
-
- plugin openvpn-down-root.so "command ..."
-
-CAVEATS
-
-This module will only work on *nix systems, not Windows.
