@jdcard fwiw Agis starts as root just to open port 300, then drops all privilege immediately after and runs a whatever user you configure it to.

@jdcard I wasn't sure how many servers there were and if they are only on the spartan mainpage. @remy that's interesting!
@jdcard what's your opinion on SRV records?
@winduptoy - Hmmm... that's an interesting idea. I avoid messing with DNS when I can but I think I'll try an SRV record and see how various Spartan clients handle that.
@jdcard - Oh, I assume none of them handle it since it's not in the spec. I see a lot of issues revolving around ports (e.g. lack of root access in your case) and so little discussion of SRV records. Seems to me like a good tool to use. I'm hoping more specs start mentioning them as a requirement to alleviate issues like this.

I'm surprised there isn't a subspace for spartan. I remember a lot of folks chatting about it a while back. anyone using / updating spartan (capsules?)?
