Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] Snort UID / GID

I've updated the snort package. The package is now working well, but I have a question:

I am creating a snort user and group during the package installation. Should we reserve a UID / GID to it? I think this is important because snort should run with fewer privileges since it can monitor the network, integrate itself with iptables and so on.

Why can't the users themselves create a snort uid/gid...
