• Bug#266339: give stunnel its own system user

    From Jamie Heilman@1:229/2 to All on Tue Aug 17 18:10:15 2004

    Package: stunnel4
    Version: 2:4.050-2

    The current policy of making /var/run/stunnel4 owned by nobody:nogroup
    is less than ideal. The nobody user should never own any files,
    likewise no files should ever have group nobody due to the potential
    for cross contamination. Giving stunnel its own system user/group
    would improve things considerably. The current stunnel4 package
    works against admins who've made this change by hand; everytime its
    reinstalled it changes the /var/run/stunnel4 directory's ownership
    back to nobody:nogroup. In my configuration, this led to the stunnel
    service not surviving the most recent upgrade because it was unable to
    write its pid file.
