Running the Salt Master as Unprivileged User
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
While the default setup runs the Salt Master as the root user, it is generally
|
|
wise to run servers as an unprivileged user. In Salt 0.9.10 the management
|
|
of the running user was greatly improved, the only change needed is to alter
|
|
the option ``user`` in the master configuration file and all salt system
|
|
components will be updated to function under the new user when the master
|
|
is started.
|
|
|
|
If running a version older that 0.9.10 then a number of files need to be
|
|
owned by the user intended to run the master:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
# chown -R <user> /var/cache/salt
|
|
# chown -R <user> /var/log/salt
|
|
# chown -R <user> /etc/salt/pki
