Hi, As per the normal install I'm running squeezecenter as a non-root uid. However, I notice that spawned mplayer processes (eg. via the Alien plugin) are running as root (and my firewall setup will block them).
It seems that when slimserver starts it changes just the *effective* uid not real uid. Does anyone know of a specific reason it the real uid is not changed? Alternatively, is there some way to configure squeezecenter/alien to launch mplayer with the same effective uid as the parent process? rgds, g. -- slackgraham ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slackgraham's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=24814 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65938 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
