Hello, Thanks for your report. I'v corrected the stop_server function and re-uploaded a new revision of this package to mentors.d.n. I'm CCing Craig Small since he's my mentor for this package. Unfortunately, the Tacacs+ daemon has hardcoded setuid commands to some value defined at compilation time. As I can't be sure about the uid the daemon user account might have on a target system, I can't put some value here (at compilation time). This is why this daemon software runs as root (I tried to make some patch at the begining of the packaging but without success). If someone have an idea, please tell me so and we will be able to improve this situation :) Regards, Henry-Nicolas. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
