Bug#409738: run nscd daemon as a non-privileged user

[Federico Grau <donfede@casagrau.org>]

Package: nscd
Version: 2.3.6.ds1-10
Severity: wishlist


The nscd daemon has support to run as a non-privileged (ie: non-root)
user account via the "server-user" configuration file option.  There is
no explantion why this is not the case in the README.Debian (there is no
README.Debian).  Could an install time option be presented to enable
this option and/or could a system account be created with the package
(much like other system daemon accounts: postfix, sshd, ntp, hal).

thank you (and thanks for the excellent work),
donfede
