Hello Bill, the override was intended to make a few commands as low privileged as possible. Most of the files under the subdirectory /var/lib/wims are owner by the system user "wims", which is created for the sake of the package wims. Instead of making nobody:nogroup to own these commands, I may create another pair of user/group, for instance nowims/nowims and use this pair to achieve the same goal.
Do you agree with this possibility? By the way, please can you give me some link about the problem which arises with the usage of nobody/nogroup? Best regards, Georges.
