Christopher Tubbs created ACCUMULO-1387:
-------------------------------------------
Summary: RPM/DEB should create an accumulo user
Key: ACCUMULO-1387
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1387
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
Fix For: 1.6.0
Accumulo shouldn't be owned and run as root when using the RPM/DEB packaging.
Instead, we should have a pre-install script that manages an accumulo user, in
the same way that other services create users (httpd, postgres, mysql, ntp,
sshd, ftp, and countless others follow this practice). Init scripts that launch
accumulo services should suid to this user (using lsb start_daemon --user flag,
preferred).
