start it as root, or chown it to some group (say daemon) and start sockd as group daemon, and chmod g+w /var/run nate On Fri, 11 Feb 2000, Pollywog wrote: pollyw >How do I allow an app to write a pid to /var/run ? pollyw > pollyw >Feb 11 19:50:24 sockd[13079]: userid.libwrap: 0 pollyw >Feb 11 19

pid question

How do I allow an app to write a pid to /var/run ? Feb 11 19:50:24 sockd[13079]: userid.libwrap: 0 Feb 11 19:50:24 sockd[13079]: method(s): Feb 11 19:50:24 sockd[13079]: open(/var/run/sockd.pid): Permission denied (errno = 13) Do I need to allow it to start as root in order to do this? -- Andre
