Hi,
I've received a patch from Ubuntu for the DHCP server to switch to running
as a non-privileged user after it's started up.

Details on the patch can be found at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=308832

We've been asked if we can include this patch in the Debian package of DHCP.

My personal preference is to get this sort of stuff rolled in upstream.

What's the general opinion of something like this?

Martin Pitt is the Debian and Ubuntu developer who made the initial patch,
so any followups should include him.

regards

Andrew
