[snip] > /usr/bin/sudo -u $USERNAME -p $PASSWD $DAEMON -g $CONFIGDIR I think there's your problem, -p $PASSWD doesn't make any sense, see man 1 sudo. rc.local runs as root, root doesn't need to know the password for $USERNAME in order to run as $USERNAME so just do /usr/bin/sudo -u $USERNAME $DAEMON Not sure what you're trying to achieve with -g $CONFIGDIR either, again see man 1 sudo.
