Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager-openvpn
Unlike manually setting the details in a file such as client.conf, the
network manager openvpn plugin does not allow you to make it drop
privileges from the root user to another. I tend to use an 'openvpn'
user for all my openvpn connections, and manage this through the openvpn
.conf file with:
# Downgrade privileges after initialization (non-Windows only)
user openvpn
group openvpn
It would be good if you could set a user/group for openvpn to run as
once initiated. Could this be incorporated? Do you think it would be
worthwhile?
