 |
|
I want to use polipo as a local proxy. Everything fine so far, but when I start polipo as a daemon via
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/polipo start |
it runs as root. So I better not add it to the startup script via
| Code: | | rc-update add polipo default |
But why?
This code snippet from /etc/init.d/polipo is supposed to make it run as polipo, isn't it?
| Code: | start-stop-daemon --start --user polipo \
--background --pidfile /var/run/polipo.pid --make-pidfile \
--exec /usr/bin/polipo
|
What can I do to have polipo starting from boot time as its own user?
Thanks,
Rainer
EDIT:
I'd better done this before - actually trying...
I added polipo to the boot level default, rebooted - and the user was polipo when I started again!
I didn't imagine that invoking /etc/init.d/polipo start from a root terminal would have a different effect from startup call.
Sorry,
Rainer |
