Template: mrtg/own_user
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Run MRTG with its own user?
Traditionally, MRTG runs as root, but this can present a potential
security risk. If you chose to have MRTG run as its own user, a user
called 'mrtg' will be used instead. If you have existing programs that
read any of MRTG's output files, you may need to update them.
Template: mrtg/conf_mods
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Make /etc/mrtg.cfg owned by and readable only by the MRTG user?
If your MRTG configuration file is readable by users other than the user
MRTG runs as (typically either 'mrtg' or 'root') it can present a security
risk, as this file contains SNMP community names.
.
It is recommended that you make the file owned by and readable only by the
MRTG user, unless you have specific reasons not to.
