Re: [smokeping-users] Slave cannot open Secrets file (Permisson Denied)

[Peter Kristolaitis]

I suspect it's a file ownership problem. Is smokeping running with UID root or GID root (the two conditions which would allow it to access that file given the ownership and permissions)?   Most installations of smokeping run under non-privileged UID/GID for security.
