Description:

I've got a warning reported by systemd reads '[🡕] /usr/lib/systemd/system/shadowsocks-libev@.service:8: Special user nobody configured, this is not safe!', which might be the result of 'User=nobody' in all four systemd service files related to this package. Comparing to the current solution, a better choice might employ 'DynamicUser=yes' to replace 'User=nobody', which is considered a better security-related practice.

P.S. I'm not an expert on how Arch's bug tracking system works. If this task is unfortunately lost from the corresponding package name, I would suggest it shadowsocks-libev with version 3.3.5-3, currently maintained by felixonmars(Felix Yan).
