Name

PRXY-135 — Setting login class for the proxy user failed

Severity

C (critical)

Message text

Cannot set values from login class %s for user %s

Description

A proxy is typically started with root privileges in order to be able to bind privileged ports. After binding sockets, the user identity (real and effective UID and GID as well as the list of supplementary groups) is changed to some unprivileged user. Login class values (according to /etc/login.conf), namely resource limits, scheduling priority, and umask, are also set. If setting these values fails, the proxy cannot continue.
