Hi, Our client is adamant that they do not want applications running as the root user.
The rsyslogd process is not a problem because it comes as a daemon process and is packaged as part of the OS install. However, when they see the omprog program running, it's flagged as an issue. Is there a simple way to run the omprog program as non-root? I tried using the su command but something goes wrong with the stdin and the program doesn't get the expected input. Also, when the rsyslogd is restarted after a config change, the 'su' program is killed but the program isn't killed. binary="su user1 -c /home/user1/bin/program.sh" running with the following is good except that program.sh shows up as a root owned process. binary="/home/user1/bin/program.sh" Thanks. _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list https://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
