Hello,
I just installed this version and found the installation directories and files are owned by “nagios”. Shouldn’t the owner be “icinga” ?
/etc/icinga2/features-enabled# ls -ld /etc/icinga2/
drwxr-x--- 8 nagios nagios 4096 Dec 29 03:59 /etc/icinga2/
Thanks
“By default, the Icinga 2 daemon is running as icinga
user and group using the init script. Using Debian packages the user and group are set to nagios
for historical reasons.” => so the folder should be owned by this user

Thanks. I just saw that reference in the documentation. Guess it gonna stay that way in the future… For now. I will live with as it is.
Question for Icinga folks - Any idea what that historic reason is?
Thanks
