Hi all! I agree with David, of course: if something only work as root, then you should fix it so that it works with a regular user.
Additionally, for documentation purposes, I wanted to mention that the latest dtools is able to drop its user and group when started as a daemon. This can be used if your system does not have a convenient daemonizing script/utility. you start liquidsoap as root with daemon mode activated, the drop_user option set to true and the user and group set to what you want the daemon to run under and there you go :) Romain Le 22 mai 2011 10:44, David Baelde <[email protected]> a écrit : > Hi, > > For security reasons liquidsoap refuses to run as root.
