            Bug ID: 228519
           Summary: sysutils/beats should probably run a specific `beats'
                    user
           Product: Ports & Packages

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?
