Just curious: would something like this be a good idea, or would it be very
frowned upon?
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#define REAL_PATH "/usr/sbin/ddclient"
int main(ac, av)
char **av;
{
setreuid(99, 99);
setregid(99, 99);
execv(REAL_PATH, av);
return 1;
}
I tried it last night, and it pretty much worked. (Except that the daemon
could no longer write a pid file to /var/run when it was running as user
nobody.)
Thanks,
DR
