Package: mrtg
Version: 2.8.12-2
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
i think it's enough, when mrtg run with non-privileged user (like www-data),
because it's already enough for most read things (snmpd, /proc/ files, etc.).
And this is maybe a possible sechole. It's not a coincidence, that i suggest
www-data user, because with apache's default config httpds runs with this.
Thanks:
RASZi

It seems it's default by now to run mrtg as root, hence closing.
