This adds a basic
systemd.service
unit for redsocks.I maintain the redsocks package for Arch Linux, which is transitioning away
from
sysvinit
tosystemd
. Although I'm new tosystemd
, it is myunderstanding that one advantage of it is it allows for
rc
scripts to bemaintained upstream rather than multiple idiosyncratic scripts per distribution.
Note, I labelled it 'basic' as it also highlights a feature request for
redsocks
: a-u, --user
option that allowsredsocks
to drop root privilegesand switch to the given userid. This will mean
su
can be removed and simplifythe service file.
