Hi folks,
I was just building rpcbind-1.2.5 and noticed a curious difference
between SysV and systemd's instructions.
On systemd, we create a separate "rpc" user to isolate the package
similar to how we would any other system daemon:
"There should be a dedicated user and group to take control of the
*rpcbind* daemon after it is started. Issue the following commands as
the |root| user:
groupadd -g 28 rpc
useradd -c "RPC Bind Daemon Owner" -d /dev/null -g rpc \
-s /bin/false -u 28 rpc
On SysV, we tell the rpcbind daemon to use the root user in the
configure command: "--with-rpcuser=root". On systemd, we tell it to use
"--with-rpcuser=rpc".
Should we setup a dedicated user and group for the rpcbind daemon in
SysV like we do for systemd?
