I"m curious as to how folks start the slony processes. I've been
using root since the processes need to write to the /usr/log
directory. Do folks do this a different way? I would prefer it to be
the postgres user, but that doesn't seem to be possible.
It's never a good idea to run any daemon as root unless there's a
genuine reason. Slony is great, but do you trust your entire system to
it? Running Slon as "postgres" is also a bad idea, since that user has
access to ALL postgres data.
Agreed, regarding root, although, any other user id I would run it as
would have access to the data as well.
I'll likely hack the scripts so that I can write the logs to where they
want them and run the daemons as postgres.
