The debian package by default just runs lightldapd as root.

Instead it should create a lightldapd user and run lightldapd with '-u lightldapd'.

It might also be nice to optionally set a password for lightldapd, add lightldapd to group shadow, and run it with '-r lightldapd'. This would allow lightldapd to export shadowAccount data. However, this is a security hole if the client machines (specifically root on client machines with access to the lightldapd password) are untrusted, so it should be optional, and not the default.
