it seems that slimserver is unable to use its group privileges.

i start slimserver with an init script, wherein i declare:

--user=slimserver --group=slimserver

in /etc/group i have:

muzak:x:101:slimserver

and in /etc/passwd i have:

slimserver:x:999:999::/usr/local/slimserver:/usr/sbin/nologin

id slimserver yields:

uid=999(slimserver) gid=999(slimserver)
groups=999(slimserver),101(muzak)

and the directory that it fails to open is:

drwxr-x--- 12 tom muzak       296 Feb 14 00:01 muzak

specifically- the log file shows:

2006-02-14 15:43:57.9753 opendir failed: /home/muzak: Permission
denied


Please help. I cannot figure this one out. The server works fine when
the group permission on the directory is changed from muzak to
slimserver. but i really do not want it set that way.

thanks.
