Description Jukka Ruohonen 2007-11-15 14:49:00 UTC 
Hi.

There has been some discussion that net-analyzer/"daemons" should drop privileges to a specific user whenever possible. In this case, the user "ngrep" should be preferred over the user "nobody".

A simple patch to the recent stable ebuild is provided as an attachment.
