Problem: ~daemon/tmp should not be the same directory as ~root/tmp/
Suggestion: new home directory:
daemon:*:1:1::0:0:Owner of many system processes:/daemon:/sbin/nologin
+ extend BSD.root.dist to create ~daemon/tmp
Given existing current/src/:
etc/master.passwd:
root::0:0::0:0:Charlie &:/root:/bin/csh
daemon:*:1:1::0:0:Owner of many system processes:/root:/sbin/nologin
etc/group:
wheel:*:0:root
daemon:*:1:daemon
etc/BSD.root.dist:
..
root
..
(but no root/tmp created)
So assuming a manually created secure & private /root/tmp with
owner root, group wheel, mode 700
This was just posted to the list, rather than made a send-pr, as I guess there
may be better solutions ... Any Comments / Improvements ?
