Package: dpkg Version: 1.13.25 Specifically: start-stop-daemon Error message: start-stop-daemon: Unable to set initgroups() with gid 1003 (Operation not permitted)
I understand the error message, and am happy there is such a check of course. OTOH, the user nominated to run the service was the one who ran the script I think that in the case of --chuid == USER ... the check on the perms should be bypassed. In effect, my user can stop a service because he owns it, but can't start it up again because start-stop-daemon wont let him impersonate himself. First bug report to debian, i hope i was clear enough. Thanks! -- Rusty Russel said that any one quoting him in an email signature was an idiot. Does paraphrasing count?
