Package: motion
Version: 3.1.19-1
Severity: wishlist
In order to run motion securely it should not be run as root. To help Debian
users to do this in a consistent way it would be useful if the motion package
would do something like:
Create a motion user - e.g. adduser --system --no-create-home motion
Have a motion init script to start and stop it, which would run it as the
motion user.
Have a note in README.Debian to say that the motion user must be able to
write to the target_dir, which is probably best done (if it is a dedicated
directory) by making it owned by the motion user.
Have a note in README.Debian to say that the motion user must have access
to the videodevice - either by making them own it, or by adding them to
the video group.
Note that while it would be possible to do fancy management of motion.conf
via debconf, and checking for permissions of the files this might get
complex if the motion program is updated in a major way, but running as
its own user, and having some kind of simple startup script will always
be a good idea.
