Cool..should have looked before opening my mouth, I guess. In general I don't like services running as user nobody and giving privileges to that user (our apache ports are a problem here, since user nobody actually owns files and has privileges over parts of the webserver). But in this case it should be okay since theres nothing xfstt needs to have modification privileges over - I'll check it out.
