Description

By default, fam installs /etc/fam.conf that has th eline:

untrusted_user = nobody

If user nobody does not exist, famd fails on startup. The book should create a special system user, famd, and update the /etc/fam.conf file to use that user.

Also, for security, local_only ought to be changes to true.

FYI, there is a new package from GNOME gamin that is API compatible with fam. See <http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/> for more info.
