I'm using similar init-script than "kannel-init.d" in the utils folder.
If you do not modify it, kannel will be run as root. From the manual
page of start-stop-daemon:
-c|--chuid
Change to this username/uid before starting the process. You can
also specify a group by appending a ':', then the group or gid
in the same way as you would for the `chown' command
(user:group). When using this option you must realize that the
primary and suplimental groups are set as well, even if the
group' options is not specified. The group option is only for
groups that the user isn't normally a member of (like adding
per/process group membership for generic users like `nobody').
Before you try non-root user, you should take care of couple of things:
- Check port(s) Kannel is using. Only root can use ports under 1024.
- Check permissions of the serial ports. Kannel user should have read
and write access to the port gsm terminal is using.
- Check permissions of the kannel log and configuration files.
If something still goes wrong... Don't blame me. I have not tried that
by myself :-)
