It's not running as root by the default init script. A user can run it as root if manually running it without -U parameter. Right, the asterisk_fix won't reset the permissions on that dir to be owned by asterisk, thus for a default install that feature is plain broken. It may be "fixed" by the user by manually resetting permissions, though. > If there is a reason this bug needs to be treated as an RC FHS violation, > then an upload to testing-proposed-updates will be needed, because unstable > has a new upstream version of asterisk. Sounds sane to me. Backporting the fix from sid only should be a very minimal change. Shall I prepare an upload to t-p-u? -- Best regards, Kilian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
