Agreed. Daemons are like users without bodies. They need unique names. I |
| 9 |
can see undesired consequences of, for example, forcing every server |
| 10 |
package in net-ftp to run as the user 'ftp'. If you really want to get |
| 11 |
freaky with the idea though, the usernames assigned to daemons should |
| 12 |
be locally configurable. Think this one is worthy of a GLEP? |
