+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.
