Re: [knot-dns-users] pidfile empty when running as unpriviliged user

Hi Tom, so I have finally addressed the issue. Well, here are the changes: - uid/gid is now changed only after startup (instead of each configuration reload) - PID file and others are created under correct configured user (config key 'user myuser.mygroup') - knotc now respects configuration (so zones are compiled under configured user) - corrected log messages to be more helpful - knotd now checks if 'storage' is writable and let's you know if it isn't So to run knotd as 'knot.knot' you have to make sure that the 'storage' directory exists and is writable by that user ( '/var/lib/knot' in your case). You can change 'storage' or 'pidfile' path in the config, but still have to make sure the 'knot.knot' can write to those. This should work even without the patch, so give it a shot and let me know.
