The same way you do it now: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
newpath --directory /var/lib/dhcp --owner dhcp:dhcp |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
There's no new obstacle, because /var/lib is writable only by root and |
| 18 |
the current OpenRC user (also root, in this case). |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Now if you need /var/lib/dhcp/something-else to be owned by dhcp:dhcp, |
| 21 |
*then* you would do it --as=dhcp. |
