Re: [mosquitto-dev] Dedicated user for Mosquitto
|
Hi Guy,
The Debian packet is set up to create a "mosquitto" user for the
broker to run under, it should not be run as root ideally.
I don't think there is any advantage to having your
publishers/subscribers running as the same user. It would be best to
isolate them except for their communication through the protocol.
Regards,
Roger
