Re: Service to start a go service as none-root

[Michael Osipov]

Hi Matthias,

this one is tricky because:
: ${monitorsolar_user:="gitlab_deploy_solar"}
: ${monitorsolar_group:="gitlab_deploy_solar"}

Instruct the RC system to do a "su - ...", and then daemon(8) tries to 
drop privs. It cannot work. I had the same issue with a custom Go 
service here at work. Remove "-u ..." from ${command} and it will work.

I haven't investigated yet how to have only daemon(8) to drop privs. See 
"man 8 rc.subr" as well. It is documented.
