Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Not all processe run as slim user?

2005-10-12 Thread Michael Herger
What wasn't cool is that I noticed that flac and sox processes which I assume are handling the conversion are running as root instead of the slim user :-( That kind of defeats the purpose of creating a chroot jail for the server. Hmm... can a non privileged user launch processes as a privileged

Ok. I got it fixed. I'm not sure what Mandriva did in the 2006.0 version, but I don't really care either. 1. copied /usr/local/slimserver.pl to /usr/local/slimserver 2. modified /etc/init.d/slimserver Changed SLIMSERVER_BIN="$SLIMSERVER_HOME/slimserver.pl" to SLIMSERVER_BIN="$SLIMSERVER_HOME/

Hello, I just installed slimserver from sources on a new Gentoo Linux server. It's all working fine and I was going to attempt to chroot it for some added precaution. But I wanted to see how it performed on my old 1.6Ghz P4 so I did a quick "top". That showed me that while converting quality 8 .o

Just a quick note to all the *nix heads. The latest nightly works perfectly for me. I thought it was time to stick my feet into the 6.* world. I have been running 5.4.something for a long long time. So I downloaded the current nightly slimserver-2005_10_11-1.noarch.rpm onto my Mandrava 10.1 syste
