Subject: debian-policy: PROPOSAL: daemons should run as root only if really needed
To: submit@bugs.debian.org, debian-policy@lists.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 3.1.5
Package: debian-policy
Version: 2.4.1.2
I can see there are some daemons (like junkbuster and maybe syslogd)
which runs as root even if they could run as a non priviledged user.
What about adding a policy statement to outlaw that?
A --user option could be added to start-stop-daemon.

ciao,
