I'm using start-stop-daemon for making sure rc.wmii runs only once (If
you don't know wmii's way of handling configs: it doesn't matter).
Although I run it as user, it sets USER=root and HOME=/root. Is this
behaviour expected or should I file a bug?

Hi,
You may wish to specify the --user parameter. As this tool is for system
daemons (therefore located in /sbin), it seems obvious it starts daemons
as root by default. I checked on my system and I don't have a setuid bit
on this program, no more it starts any program when my wheel user
executes

If start-stop-daemon is executed by a normal user it should either not
change the user to root or deny the execution if the user is not root.
I think it is a big securi
