Description Enrico Scholz 2004-02-19 23:33:46 UTC 
Description of problem:

| # ps axu
| nobody   ... /usr/sbin/gkrellmd -d
  ~~~~~~

(Production-)services should *never* run as 'nobody' since every other
'nobody' process could make bad things with it.

I recommend to create a dedicated user for gkrellmd.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
