https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D259384 Bug ID: 259384 Summary: security/openvpn: Create dedicated user Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: mandree@FreeBSD.org Reporter: freebsd@ohreally.nl Flags: maintainer-feedback?(mandree@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: mandree@FreeBSD.org Hi, With a default install, openvpn runs as user/group nobody. However, it is generally considered bad practice to have multiple services run under a sin= gle shared username. It would be better to create a dedicated openvpn user and group at install time, and patch the sample configuration files to reflect this.
