Bernard, I would NOT run a daemon that has to be able to write to files as nobody. No files should be owned by 'nobody'. Since this user is used for daemons that should not be able to write to any files on the system for secirity reasons.
Create a special user for rrdcached and run it as that user ... cheers tobi Yesterday Bernard Li wrote: > Dear all: > > For those who are interested,I have written a Wiki page documenting > how to integrate rrdcached with Ganglia 3.1.x: > > http://ganglia.wiki.sourceforge.net/rrdcached_integration > > Comments/feedbacks welcome. > > Thanks, > > Bernard > > On Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 3:50 PM, Bernard Li <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Dear RRDTool and Ganglia developers: > > > > For the last few days I have been working on integrating rrdcached > > with Ganglia and the preliminary results are pretty promising. > > > > On my benchmark server running gmetad, without rrdcached the load > > would get way up there making the server unusable (due to high I/O > > wait).
