DirectAdmin running as user nobody

[crenet]

Hello,

After reading this wiki page

nobody - Ubuntu Wiki

wiki.ubuntu.com

I take a look in the running processess and see that directadmin is running as nuser nobody.

Is this intentional or it should have his own user name ?

Thanks for your opinions.

[DirectAdmin Support]

DirectAdmin has root privileges when needed, but and increase/decrease as needed to keep things as secure as possible.
As idling needs no actions, it drops to nobody.

This is normal.
