If start-stop-daemon is executed by a normal user it should either not change the user to root or deny the execution if the user is not root. I think it is a big security issue if a normal user could start arbitrary daemons with root privileges. So you should file a bug at bugs.gentoo.org or better a new ticket at roy.marples.name/projects/openrc/wiki. I think only root should be able to execute start-stop-daemon and the user should be changed with the proper command line switches. I actually don't know if it is --chuid or --user as this has changed between old baselayout and new openrc. -- Regards, Daniel
