Hi, The patch allows to set the hard coded 'nobody' user to something that eventually exists on the box (added --with-user and --with-group (defaults to --with-user) to configure.
If not specified they default to 'nobody' as before Not sure about naming since I'm not very clear for what that user is used at the first place, so I didn't open the Jira directly. Regards -- ^TM
