Daemons should run > unprivileged; using common accounts like 'nobody' or 'bin' or 'daemon' allows > independent daemons (e.g. dspam and dnsmasq) to influence each other (e.g. by > 'ptrace'). Please use a dedicated account. And it's particularly important that files are not owned by the "nobody" account, as these could then be overwritten by any process running with that UID - such processes are intended to have minimal privileges and should certainly not be able to write to any system files. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
