Package: python-daemon Version: 1.5.5-1 Severity: normal It seems impossible to daemonise a programme with python-daemon without overwriting additional groups defined for the user that should run the daemon. For instance, I am trying to run bcfg2-server, which does
self.context = daemon.DaemonContext(uid=self.setup['daemon_uid'],
gid=self.setup['daemon_gid'],
…)
and the user to use is
uid=105(bcfg2) gid=111(bcfg2) groups=111(bcfg2),110(ssl-cert)
but even if I do not pass the gid value to DaemonContext, then then
process is unable to read this file:
-rw-r----- 1 root ssl-cert 1704 Dec 16 14:08
/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
