>Description:
jabber-pyicq-transport.sh doesn't set jabber_pyicq_user="jabber" so the transport executes as root.
This is a potential security hazard and I suggest that the aforementioned script should provide a default setting of
"jabber" to execute the transport under.
>How-To-Repeat:
Start jabber-pyicq-transport.sh as root
>Fix:
Add ': ${jabber_pyicq_user="jabber"}' into the startup script
