+%description
+tinyproxy is a small, efficient HTTP/SSL proxy daemon released under the GNU

+intensive, or a security risk.

+- From the depths of the void this beast I spawn. I added an initrd script for
+  this so it can be started/stopped from /sbin/service. My version of RedHat
+  doesn't have a 'nogroup' so used nobody instead.
