Package: honeyd
Version: 1.0-4
Severity: normal
The section below has been copied out of the README.Debian file that ships with
honeyd. It appears to be inconsistent. The first section says the default
configuration in debian uses the honeyd user. The next section says that it
runs as nobody/nogroup. Based on the shipped configuration file it appears that
the later is actually the way things are setup.
- run honeyd as a non-root user. The default configuration for honeyd
in Debian uses the 'honeyd' user.
- run the scripts as a user with very low privileges. This is done
by modifying the default template provided with honeyd. Debian's default
template has:
set template uid 65534 gid 65534
If you do run it as a low user you will have to grant it access to the
log files in order for honeyd to properly work. Otherwise, no logfile
will get written and honeyd might abort when trying to do so.
Depending on user demand, honeyd might be configured in the future to
run in Debian as its onw user ('honeyd') this is, however, not yet implemented.
