Package: nfs-common
Version: 1:1.1.2-6lenny1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I noticed on paganini.debian.org that statd was running as root.

Apparently rpc.statd is running as the user who owns /var/lib/nfs/sm.
This is, by default, statd.  However, removing the package (but not
purgning) will also remove that directory, and then re-installing the
package will again create the directory, but now owned by root.

The postinst will not chown it to statd, even tho it probably should.

This is potentially a security issue.

Cheers,
weasel
