Re: About a rc.d script and "--user ${puser}"

[Cem Kayali <cemkayali%eticaret.com.tr@localhost>]

Well, yes; let me briefly explain:

# userinfo privoxy
login   privoxy
passwd  *************
uid     50
groups  privoxy

Then, run "/etc/rc.d/privoxy onestart", then privoxy service runs as 
user:privoxy and group:wheel (uid:50 and gid=0) instead of user:privoxy 
group:privoxy (uid:50 and gid=50).

Regards,
Cem
