1down-root -- an OpenVPN Plugin Module 2 3SYNOPSIS 4 5The down-root module allows an OpenVPN configuration to 6call a down script with root privileges, even when privileges 7have been dropped using --user/--group/--chroot. 8 9This module uses a split privilege execution model which will 10fork() before OpenVPN drops root privileges, at the point where 11the --up script is usually called. The module will then remain 12in a wait state until it receives a message from OpenVPN via 13pipe to execute the down script. Thus, the down script will be 14run in the same execution environment as the up script. 15 16BUILD 17 18Build this module with the "make" command.
