George Paul updated TS-15:
--------------------------

    Attachment: TS-15_user_patch1.diff

This patch 'TS-15_user_patch1.diff' is a  modified patch of 
'fix-nobody-user.patch' submitted by 'mt...@apache.org' and updates 
TrafficCop.cc and RecordsConfig.cc also. By default the $pkgsysuser and 
$pkgsysgroup is the current user doing the build. To enable a different system 
user and group use the '--with-user=<newuser>' and '--with-group=<newgroup>' 
options with 'configure'. 

patch -p0 -i TS-15_user_patch1.diff

thanks to 'mt...@apache.org' for the original patch.

Tested on Ubuntu-8.04. Please review and let me know if there are any issues. 

cheers,

-George

> The user nobody, or group nobody, might not exist on some system, causing 
> "make install" to fail. We should check for some common alternatives here, 
> and/or provide switches to configure to specify which user and group to use 
> (two switches). For example, on Ubuntu the user "nobody" is a member of the 
> group "nogroup", causing our install breaks.
