Title:
upstart 1.4: setuid/setguid apply to ALL scripts

New
Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed

Upstart 1.4 on Ubuntu Precise from

-----------------------
My understanding of the setuid/setguid stanza's in upstart 1.4 is that
they should emulate what start-stop-daemon/daemon and suchlike do with
regards to dropping privileges.
At the moment the stanza's apply to all script blocks (not just the
main exec one) which makes it hard to setup /var/run directories etc..
which normally need to be created by root, not the owner of the
application.
