Hi, I have already published on debian-dpkg a patch that correct the usage of nice() [1]. This is not only a glibc problem, it also a bad usage of a broken function (nice()) in start-stop-daemon.
I wrote a piece of code that is fully compliant with modern standart (use set/getpriority() instead of nice() if available). With it, start-stop-daemon --nicelevel option will work on almost all Unix98, X/open, System V, BSD compatible systems (i hope ;) I'm not a debian developper, i hope you don't care of that.

PS2: i really want my patch to be included in future release, can you really flame me for that ? -- Yann Droneaud <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> +33 6 88 40 82 43 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 1024D/BEA43321 5D91 B5B0 5137 B8FE 6882 FE19 CAA0 6F05 BEA4 3321 http://www.meuh.eu.org/ http://www-iupmime.univ-lemans.fr/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
