Hi,
This is more of a feature request, but...
Salt does no privilege separation and runs as root.
For the minion root privileges are needed to perform most of its duties, so
this is probably not solvable unless some form of privilege separation is
applied upstream.
For the master on the other hand, which is a network daemon makes this look
quite bad. Fortunately the master supports non-root operation and is probably
easy to make it run like that.
So, it would be cool to have an option in rc.conf for enabling execution of the
master. Ideally, this should be the default.
