Hmm, not sure why my mailer decided this isn't important - it is! Lost a few days on it due to not being visible yet - I beg all your pardon for this. /slap my mail filers
This essentially came due to: 1. myself wanting to bring the Delta we had (by Serge) to run as libvirt-dnsmasq to Debian in [1] 2. out of the discussion in said bug it was decided to be a security risk. I don't have good logs to share (IRC/Mails/Hangout-Talks), but the TL;DR was "do not run it as that user" 3. out of that discussion the change causing this happened in [2] I think I want to re-fix that at least for bionic to bring back Serges changes. But in a modified way so they do not trigger the security issues found back then. They'll probably get an own group at least ... I also need to look more into the issue that arises due to it for you by reading more into the comments above... @Seth - any recommendation which user would be best for security isolation. Is an own one (but also with an own group this time) the best we can do?
