RE: [vdr] VDR 1.3.38 and "-u root"

I vote for automatically using user vdr when started as root to promote the unprivileged user mode and to emphasize that using root is not recommended.

Is there any reason why a software should force anyone to do what seems to be the best ? I use my vdr-system for years running as root and i'm happy with it, no access from the outside world possible, so why should i waste hours for changing a lot of stuff on my vdrsystem only because some fanatics think i have to ?

Yes it's better to run vdr with a non-root account and if i have to setup my vdr-system completly from scratch i will do so, but until then please leave the possibility to run it as root.

Just my 2 cents.
