Issue/Introduction
If the Listener Process is configured to be started with user nobody (id 4294967294)
extract out of the ini of the agent: ===================================================================== ;listenerUID=65534 listenerUID=4294967294 20180621/180203.167 - ;listenerGID=65534 20180621/180203.167 - listenerGID=4294967294 ===================================================================== the process is started by another user id
Problem is that this parameter is an signed integer limited to 2^31.
Cause
A problem has been fixed where the Unix Agent starts its listener process with an invalid user ID instead of NOBODY.
This it a potential security gap, because One Automation doesn't control if the user exists, or because it can start the listener process with another user without issuing any warning.
Resolution
Workaround:
Configure a user with a ID < 2^31.
Solution:
Update to a fix version listed below or a newer version if available.
