Droproot plugin

[ysc3839]

Drop root permission on Linux. Inspired by znc.

Usage: Add this line in server.cfg:

Code Select Expand

droproot nobody nogroup'nobody' is user name. 'nogroup' is group name. uid and gid is also accepted.
And add "droproot04relxx" in plugins.

Supports both 04rel003(maybe eariler, but I have not tested) and 04rel004. Tested on WSL.

Juts because you're lazy then that doesn't mean other's are lazy as well. And by that I don't mean that other people will not be lazy and secure their servers. I mean that other people who specialize in breaching systems will not be lazy and make you regret it (that is, if you even realize you've been breached).

Well... to be honest, if you're that lazy and careless, you probably deserve getting breached
