Re: [luau] How to repair system?

The OS not found part is somewhat scary. ... I would fear hardware damage or failure. =( Me too, but it turns out that the system booted again after I poked around with LNX-BBC for a while. I ran fsck and fdisk ineptly, not sure what I did (if anything) that fixed things. Lucky. Not

How does one get daemons to run as a user other than root? It depends on what service you are trying to run. In this particular case, sshd. But what if I just wanted to run some arbitrary shell script as nobody? How would I do it? Maybe: su - nobody shell_script exit or su nobody -c
