Down script is executed as nobody

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The latest release (as of July 13th, 2009) seems to have a problem with the
up/down script.

Up script is executed as root, but down script is executed as nobody This
results in the up script changing the name server and writing the old
config to the /tmp/open_vpn_* but downscript can't successfully execute
'scutil' to set the DNS back to the old settings as saved in tmp files.

I've verified that 'scutil' in down script comes back with 'Permission
Denied', and I've verified that it is indeed running as nobody by adding:
touch /tmp/iam_`whoami`
which gives me:
/tmp/iam_nobody

Not a bug. This is the way openvpn works. This is because your config file has 
user/group defined telling openvon to downgrade privileges. Remove the 
user/group 
setting in your config file.
