Hi all
I'm about to give the new dhcpcd 9.0.0 a go, which has quite an
important change: it does privilege separation now.
This means that an unprivileged user has to be created and that user
needs to have access to /var/lib/dhcpcd
I thought of doing something similar to openssh:
install -v -m700 -d /var/lib/dhcpcd
groupadd -g 50 dhcpcd &&
useradd -c 'dhcpcd PrivSep' \
-d /var/lib/dhcpcd \
-g dhcpcd \
-s /bin/false \
-u 50 dhcpcd
chown dhcpcd:dhcpcd /var/lib/dhcpcd
Now, the question is: what uid and gid shall I use? 50 as above is taken
by openssh, so what number shall we reserve for dhcpcd?
Bye
Tim
