Bjorn, Thanks for your patience. Yes I'm often wrong! :-) /var/cache/slimserver and /var/log/slimserver are owned by slimserver. And I can see the slimserver entry in /etc/passwd. I was using the Linux users and groups tool which I would have assumed displayed all users regardless of status. Obviously not. ( Don't you hate tools you can't rely on? )
I've also done a ps-ef and can see that slimserver actually runs under the userid 111. ( Which is the slimserver account of course ) I think I understand the permissions now. Access for the slimserver id is implied under the general or others access permission. I guess I was expecting it to be explicitly listed either as owner or a group entry and with the permissions more locked down. ( 750 rather than 755 perhaps ) Perhaps I should stop trying to confuse myself now as everything is working. Thanks again for your help. Much appreciated! -- alanj Cheers Alan Koolu + SC 7 feeding ==> SB3 -> Cyrus 6vs -> KEF iQ7 SB2 -> Super T amp -> Mission 771 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ alanj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2017 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40130 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
