This means that an unprivileged user has to be created and that user needs to have access to /var/lib/dhcpcd I thought of doing something similar to openssh: install -v -m700 -d /var/lib/dhcpcd groupadd -g 50 dhcpcd && useradd -c 'dhcpcd PrivSep' \ -d /var/lib/dhcpcd \ -g dhcpcd \ -s /bin/false \ -u 50 dhcpcd chown dhcpcd:dhcpcd /var/lib/dhcpcd Now, the question is: what uid and gid shall I use? 50 as above is taken by openssh, so what number shall we reserve for dhcpcd? Bye TimFirst, you may try to look at what other distros do for the uid/gid, but whatever your choice, have a look at the "About System Users and Groups" page, and add the id's there (after verifying it does not clash, I guess you'd thought of that :).
Ok, I went for 52, will update the page when I'm done. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
