Nice to hear! For upstream adoption it is probably required to invest a bit more work; in particular the "dhcp" and "dhcpd" users certainly shouldn't be hardcoded in the patch, but specified at build time (if left empty, derooting wouldn't take place, this can be checked with an #ifdef around drop_privileges). If upstream generally likes the idea, I'd be willing to refine the patch, please feel free to contact me. Thanks and have a nice day! Martin P.S. Congratulations for being the first DD who actually replied to one of my numerous patches (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DerootificationStatus). :-) -- Martin Pitt http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer http://www.ubuntulinux.org Debian Developer http://www.debian.org
