Hello List, we are using sophie 3.04rc1/2 under the daemontools control for years without any problems. Since the last update to release 3.04 there seems to be a significant change in the way how sophie handles subprocesses. I read that sophie is now responsable for starting subprocesses which are run under an unprivileged user account. Does that mean that sophie now needs to be run as root to be able to change the user for the subprocess? We never ran sophie as root so far. Under daemontools we always changed to an unprivileged user with the setuidgid command before starting sophie. Is version 3.04 not compatible with daemontools any more? If so, was the change in source code absolutely necessary to work properly? What to do to make it work under daemontools? Thanke You, Uwe
