Subject: [bug#60788] [PATCH v2] services: vnstat: Use least-authority-wrapper.
Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2023 00:37:11 +0000

* gnu/services/monitoring.scm (vnstat-shepherd-service): Use
least-authority-wrapper.
---

This patch SHOULD NOT be applied, this is a wip patch with least-authority-wrapper
and it doesn't seem to work (at least when launched within a VM).
I leave it here in case anyone interested wants to dig in further.
