Hi Mario, I think that you have something else going on here.
> Solution: Remove the "-c dictd" from /etc/init.d/dictd, then, it works: You must be referring to: start-stop-daemon --start -o -c dictd --exec $DAEMON -- ${DICTD_ARGS} ^^^^^^^^ Note that this is an argument to start-stop-daemon, not dictd, so it is no surprise that: > If I start it as user dictd manually, it also does not work: > > fnewsql:~# su dictd -c 'dictd --locale=de_AT.utf-8 > --logfile=/var/log/dictd.log' We need to figure out why your server will not start as user dictd. What do you get from running ``groups dictd''? User dictd is supposed to be added during the dictd preinst. Did you revert your /etc/passwd file? Kirk Bug 227025 goes back a long way and my understanding is that it refers to the lack of logging for locale mismatch errors. I think that this may have been addressed -- I will look into it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
