Package: bacula-fd Version: 5.2.6+dfsg-7 Severity: normal Hi,
The other Bacula services are started by 'bacula' user. Only bacula-fd is started as 'root'. However, I've just discovered that it can function properly with limited privileges too. For this one must edit /etc/default/bacula-df to contain: ARGS="-u bacula -g bacula -k" I think that from a security perspective this should be the default on package installation. Also, the init script file should work with defaults even if there is no content on /e/d/bacula-fd or is completely missing. This means that at install all default options should be provided as a comment/example: #ENABLED="yes" #ARGS="-u bacula -g bacula -k" #CONFIG="/etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf" Cheers -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages bacula-fd depends on: ii bacula-common 5.2.6+dfsg-7 ii libacl1 2.2.51-8 ii libc6 2.13-37 ii libcap2 1:2.22-1.2 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.2-5 ii libpython2.7 2.7.3-6 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1c-4 ii libstdc++6 4.7.2-5 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-24 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian8 ii ucf 3.0025+nmu3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 bacula-fd recommends no packages.
