Hi Mr. Ralf, >From what I know about savd - - It was designed to be run by root only. - The daemon was supposed to handle the on-access scanning and the framework that will handle other tasks. - Some tasks include - configuration, thread control, runtime debugging, logging, etc --> which I believe will need root privileges.
BTW, I have not tried doing customization with any Sophos required user privileges (always willing to find out if others may have found a way or if there the understanding needs updating.:) Regards, Julius On Thu, Dec 12, 2019 at 9:45 PM Ralf Hildebrandt <r...@sys4.de> wrote: > Currently I'm using SOPHOS savdid/savd within rspamd. > > * savdid is running as unprivileged user "sophosav" > * savd, on the other hand, is run as root - probably by default :( > > Naturally, I'd like savd to run as a non-root user, but is that > possible at all?
