Hi José. One thing seems to be wrong, or does not make sense to me. I have never used Dante, but from reviewing a little code i can see the point where is failing is because is attempting to get the group you have configured to run, but the user does not have permissions for that group. Please make sure that the user you select (sockd) belongs to the group dante is asked to run on. Just an idea.
sure you are not missing any obscure configuration? :) kind regards, On 1/2/06, Jose Gonzalez Gomez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi there, > > I'm facing a weird problem that seems to be related somehow to some > permission problem I can't identify.
