New review comment by ailiop-git on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/31332#discussion_r648157096 Comment: I'd like to avoid doing that, given that `nobody` it's a catch-all account and maybe shared by different services. There are far too many ways that processes running with the same creds can influence each other, and it's better to avoid that as much as possible given that this is done for increased security, especially for long-running daemons. Plus there are further things that can be restricted by uid so it's useful to have separation. I suppose I'd better provide a parameterized sv file, similar to what the freebsd pkg does [1], and let users configure the various options over a conf file as we do for the rest (e.g. like sshd). This would also have the system accounts hardcoded, so it would make more sense. [1] https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/sysutils/spiped/files/spiped.in
