Unfortunately, this can lead to conflicts and make access management for your wallet. In this article, we will go through steps to change the Bitcoin Core user to “Coindog”.
Why is this needed?
When you install a bitcoin core using the parcel manager apt oryum, a new user account with the same name as the executable capacity Bitcoin Core (usually Bitcoin-Core" is created. By changing the Bitcoin core user to "COINDOG", your wallet is only accessible to the newly created "COINDOG".

/etc/bitcoin.conf) to use the new UID:
`
$ sudo nano /etc/bitcoin.conf
`
Locate a row user = dog and replace it for:
`
User = Coindog
`
Save and leave the editor.
- Update the executable executable Bitcoin products : After making the change, update the executable put -up of the bitcoin core and use a new UID:
