Hi. I think I'm also hitting the same problem, but with different symptom - I cannot start tcsd (0.3.5-2+b1 on sid) at all. I believe it's the init script at fault.
In /etc/init.d/trousers, it invokes tcsd daemon with start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background \ --make-pid --pidfile /var/run/tcsd.pid \ --user tss --chuid tss \ --exec /usr/sbin/tcsd -- -f However, tcsd fails to start with this configuration (without any error message). By removing --chuid tss, start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background \ --make-pid --pidfile /var/run/tcsd.pid \ --user tss \ <- HERE --exec /usr/sbin/tcsd -- -f this starts without any problem. # ps auxww | grep tcsd tss 27852 0.0 0.0 22772 1628 ? S 19:17 0:00 /usr/sbin/tcsd -f Running uid is also set collectly, as it's done by tcsd itself. === src/tcsd/svrside.c === 271 #ifndef SOLARIS 272 pwd = getpwnam(TSS_USER_NAME); ... 282 setuid(pwd->pw_uid); 283 #endif So I guess removing "--chuid tss" from init script solves the issue. Also, trying to set running uid outside the program is probably useless, as TSS_USER_NAME is hardcoded to be "tss" in the source.
