<section><title>Nix store/database not owned by root</title>
<para>It is also possible to let the Nix store and database be owned
by a non-root user, which should be more secure<footnote><para>Note
however that even when the Nix daemon runs as root, not
<emphasis>that</emphasis> much code is executed as root: Nix
expression evaluation is performed by the calling (unprivileged) user,
and builds are performed under the special build user accounts. So
only the code that accesses the database and starts builds is executed
as <literal>root</literal>.</para></footnote>. Typically, this user
is a special account called <literal>nix</literal>, but it can be
named anything. It should own the Nix store and database:
<screen>
$ chown -R nix /nix/store /nix/var/nix</screen>
and of course <command>nix-daemon</command> should be started under
that user, e.g.,
<screen>
$ su - nix -c "exec /nix/bin/nix-daemon"</screen>
</para>
<para>There is a catch, though: non-<literal>root</literal> users
cannot start builds under the build user accounts, since the
<function>setuid</function> system call is obviously privileged. To
allow a non-<literal>root</literal> Nix daemon to use the build user
feature, it calls a setuid-root helper program,
<command>nix-setuid-helper</command>. This program is installed in
<filename><replaceable>prefix</replaceable>/libexec/nix-setuid-helper</filename>.
To set the permissions properly (Nix’s <command>make install</command>
doesn’t do this, since we don’t want to ship setuid-root programs
out-of-the-box):
<screen>
$ chown root.root /nix/libexec/nix-setuid-helper
$ chmod 4755 /nix/libexec/nix-setuid-helper
</screen>
(This example assumes that the Nix binaries are installed in
<filename>/nix</filename>.)</para>
<para>Of course, the <command>nix-setuid-helper</command> command
should not be usable by just anybody, since then anybody could run
commands under the Nix build user accounts. For that reason there is
a configuration file <filename>/etc/nix-setuid.conf</filename> that
restricts the use of the helper. This file should be a text file
containing precisely two lines, the first being the Nix daemon user
and the second being the build users group, e.g.,
<programlisting>
nix
nixbld
</programlisting>
The setuid-helper barfs if it is called by a user other than the one
specified on the first line, or if it is asked to execute a build
under a user who is not a member of the group specified on the second
line. The file <filename>/etc/nix-setuid.conf</filename> must be
owned by root, and must not be group- or world-writable. The
setuid-helper barfs if this is not the case.</para>
