Hello Eric,
as I don't have worked with tracebacks, I cannot decide if they are ok.
You can find them at the bottom of the page.
As already written to Kern, do we want to have the daemons run with the
minimum rights, or is it too much work?
I think that I cannot judge if this makes sense.
If you decide that we don't want to make this work,
that's fine for me.
I found that the redhat startscripts in "/platforms/redhat/"
do use the user and group options, so why don't use them in suse also.
best regards,
Philipp
