Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-elastic mailing
list <elastic@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback:
Bug 228519: sysutils/beats should probably run a specific `beats' user
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D228519



--- Description ---
the *beats daemons should probably not run as root

Running as nobody is not correct since the daemons own files in
/var/db/beats/*beat. Hence the correct way is probably to create a `beats' =
user
and ditto group. That way, admins can allow the beats group read access to =
log
files that are not world readable, for example.=20

Thoughs on this?
