[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/2] package/nut: specify --with-user/group when building NUT

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

Jens, All,

On 2017-06-08 17:35 +0200, Jens Maus spake thusly:
> This commit fixes a problem where the NUT package couldn't be
> used as a NUT server due to the fact that the default group for
> nobody is "nogroup" and not "nobody" like the internal default
> of NUT. Thus, when starting a NUT server daemon the daemon starts
> with incorrect group permissions and generated some error messages.
> This commit fixes this shortcoming by specifying --with-user/group
> when running configure.

'nobody' is the default for the user, so it does not seem to be needed
to specify it, as we do have nobody. Being explicit is probably better.

Yup.

Note however that nut does not recommend running as nobody/nogroup.

Instead, I would suggest we do add a user definition for nut, and
use that for configure.

    define NUT_USER
        nut -1 nut -1 * - - - Nut user
    endef
