Hi, > So it depends on your policy I guess, but you should expect to spend > more time if you decide to run cf-serverd as non-root. I really think that you should spend this time in development instead so both paying customers and community members could benefit from a software that delivers a secure solution all the way. If you take security seriously you don't run processes as root if they not have to. This may sound harsh but I usually discard software vendors that have this design as people not knowing what they're doing but this is obviously not true in your case. I really like Cfengine and I think it's a great product but I think this "cf-serverd issue" could be designed differently. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
