down-root -- an OpenVPN Plugin Module
5
The down-root module allows an OpenVPN configuration to
6
call a down script with root privileges, even when privileges
7
have been dropped using --user/--group/--chroot.
9
This module uses a split privilege execution model which will
10
fork() before OpenVPN drops root privileges, at the point where
11
the --up script is usually called. The module will then remain
12
in a wait state until it receives a message from OpenVPN via
13
pipe to execute the down script. Thus, the down script will be
14
run in the same execution environment as the up script.
18
Build this module with the "make" command. The plugin
19
module will be named openvpn-down-root.so
23
To use this module, add to your OpenVPN config file:
25
plugin openvpn-down-root.so "command ..."
29
This module will only work on *nix systems, not Windows.
