Description Ruben Kerkhof 2016-11-22 20:46:03 UTC 
Currently bird and bird6 run as root. They should drop privileges after forking and opening port 179.

Both daemons accept a -u and -g argument to do just that.
Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2017-02-28 10:39:34 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle.
Changing version to '26'.

patch for the spec file

Attached is a patch against the current master of the fedpkg repository.

This also addresses things raised in #1285672

I'm happy to help with the package if you need more support.
Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-03 08:18:58 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '26'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.
Comment 4 Jan Kurik 2018-08-14 10:21:17 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 29 development cycle.
Changing version to '29'.
Comment 5 Robert Scheck 2018-10-24 23:35:59 UTC 
Is there any specific reason that this hasn't happened, yet?
