Package: gross
Version: 1.0.2-2
Severity: normal

When configured with statefile, grossd needs statefile created with 'grossd 
-C'. 

If run by root, grossd will setuid() to user nobody and creation of statefile in
directory owned by user gross fails.

One workaround is to use 'sudo -u gross grossd -C', but grossd could also 
setuid()
to user gross by default.
