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 .ogg files into flac before streaming it wasn't taking more than 5% at anytime which is kind of cool. 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.
The init.d script I created is pretty much identical to the one found in the wiki with the exception that I used the conf.d/slimserver file to store the name of the log, pid etc. Did I misconfigure something? Or there's a little flaw in the server code launching the converters as the wrong user? Thanks for your help. -WildCoder -- WildCoder _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
