Recently i was looking into nsproxy to accomplish an opposite task, my nsd runs as nobody but i need ability to execute some scripts as root but it looks like nsproxy is not designed for this task without hacking nsd: i.e. run nsd as root, spawn nsproxy then manually switch nsd to nobody.
NOW I got it. Seems that SF email delivery is busted... Anyhow, I belive you can setuid the nsproxy program which would then execute under root and be able to lower the privilige to some other user or stay as root. I never tried that but this should be OK. Cheers Zoran
