Hi Robert, Just trying to clear up a bit of confusion. Your /etc/rd.conf file states that Rivendell should run as rduser with the group rivendell.
<-- Snipped from your earlier post --> [Identity] ; Specify who uses rivendell interfaces (like rdairplay) ; This user must be into the rivendell unix group AudioOwner=rduser AudioGroup=rivendell <-- Snip --> You have two options, you can create a user called rduser and shove them in the appropriate groups (several steps) or you can edit /etc/rd.conf so that AudioOwner=patrick (I assume you're already a member of the rivendell group but fix that if you're not).
