Hey.. When I started with Linux/Unix security, the first thing I learned was "do not run a daemon as root as long isn't really require it".. well, when I use irssi as my primary irc-client which not has any built-in detach function i use screen instead. When a run a "ps -aux" it shows me screen is runned by root!? Example: root 302 0.0 0.5 1800 1164 ?? Is Tue04PM 0:01.85 screen irssi and it's started as user "z3l3zt".. any ideas/suggestions about this?
