Drop root permissions after reading config file #38

Tries to change user/group from root to nobody:nobody, logs on failure.

Does nothing if not running as root.

CyberTailor commented 1 year ago

User/group could be made configurable via config file or cli.

I feel like it would kill portability (especially on Windows). Plus, it should not be run as root in the first place anyways

Ok, so making a new user is the preferred solution.
