Hello, When I am running the ioquake3 1.36 server on linux at booting, I don't want to run it as the "root" user because it is not safe. I prefer to use an "ioq3" user dedicated to this task. This is what happened when I run the server as the "ioq3" user using sudo as "root": # sudo -u ioq3 /usr/games/quake3/ioq3ded.i386 +exec yugiohjcj.config ioq3 1.36 linux-i386 Sep 23 2012 ----- FS_Startup ----- Unable to create directory "/root/.q3a", error is Permission denied(13)
Filesystem call made without initialization recursive error after: Filesystem call made without initialization ... recursive error after: Filesystem call made without initialization Segmentation fault We can see that the program wants to write into the "/root" directory. The "ioq3" user has not the permission to write to this directory. What is the best strategy to correct this behavior ? Thank you. Best regards. _______________________________________________ ioquake3 mailing list ioquake3@lists.ioquake.org http://lists.ioquake.org/listinfo.cgi/ioquake3-ioquake.org By sending this message I agree to love ioquake3 and libsdl.
