Hi all,
This is a message for the archive. It'd be great if it also made it
into the project FAQ.
Apparently lots of new users of commons-daemon encounter the "Cannot
find daemon loader org/apache/commons/daemon/support/DaemonLoader"
error message from jsvc:

I understand their frustration...I'm new to commons-daemon, and I
just spent more hours fighting the problem than I'll admit. Here was
the problem (I'm using Linux...I don't know whether this description
applies to other environments):
Even if you invoke jsvc as root and don't use the "-user" option, by
the time it tries to load the DaemonLoader class, it has reduced its
permissions level. Specifically, it has invoked the "capset" system
call to clear its CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH flag (among other flags). I
don't understand the interaction between the CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH
capacity and filesystem permissions, but I was able to make the error
message go away by making my classpath paths and all parent
directories readable (and executable, for dirs) by all.
