Hi, I am setting up haproxy for the first time, and of course my first OS choice is FreeBSD. Most services I am familiar with use their own service accounts which are created when port is installed (squid, ejabberd, mysql, clamav, vscan etc.). But haproxy does not create account, and there is no pkg-message, or any other reference which suggests I should create separate account, and also whether it needs shell, homedir etc. On the other hand, most web 'works for me' howtos mention running it under separate account. So, my question is the one from this mail's subject: Is it safe to run haproxy under root account? If not, what is the best practice regarding its user account's shell and homedir? Is there a recommendation for UID/GID? Thank you in advance, --=20 Marko Cupa=C4=87 https://www.mimar.rs
