[cobalt-users] Running named as root ? Why not change it standard cobalt ??

["R. Hamburg" <cobalt@xxxxxxx>]

A little while ago there was some discussion about the risks of  running
named as root.

I just good a brand new raq and the first thing I noticed is that named was
running as root again ^%#$^&@

Why is cobalt ignoring this "risks" and what are exactly the risks of
running named as root ???? Is it that hard for them to change that in newer
delivered servers....
Cause I think most users (on- or offlist) are running the standard named out
of the box.
Maybe someone is willing to write a good HOWTO about changing this to what
is should be.
And perhaps it can be posted on http://www.baltimoremd.com/cobaltfacts/
(which seems to be down ?? Thom ?)

I think a lot of users can benefit from it then !

I like to hear some other thoughts, please ;)
