17.1 Legacy Series / Jails and privilege isolation
December 12, 2016, 04:48:48 PM
Hello everyone,

I'd like to know if the Opnsense community has discussed before the tradeoffs and potential security improvements of running as many of its services and daemons within https://wiki.freebsd.org/Jails.

In relation to this topic, I'd like to ask what's the rationale for running certain daemons as root when they don't need to. Notable examples are:

- lighttpd
- php-cgi
- suricata
- openvpn

Thank you
