Hello I'm installing Freeswitch on a CentOS 5.3 test host. I noticed that the freeswitch.init.redhat contains paths that don't match a stock CentOS install. All files are currently installed/owned by root: Should I go ahead, create a "freeswitch" user/group, and chown everything under /usr/local/freeswitch/, or are there issues if some files aren't owned by root? Here's the original file, and mine: ===== ORIG /usr/src/freeswitch/build/freeswitch.init.redhat ============= PROG_NAME=freeswitch PID_FILE=${PID_FILE-/opt/freeswitch/log/freeswitch.pid} FS_USER=${FS_USER-freeswitch} FS_FILE=${FS_FILE-/opt/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch} FS_HOME=${FS_HOME-/opt/freeswitch} LOCK_FILE=/var/lock/subsys/freeswitch FREESWITCH_ARGS="-nc" RETVAL=0 ===== My /etc/init.d/freeswitch ============= PROG_NAME=freeswitch PID_FILE=${PID_FILE-/usr/local/freeswitch/log/freeswitch.pid} #All files installed/owned by root: Should I go ahead and create a freeswitch user anyway? FS_USER=${FS_USER-freeswitch} FS_FILE=${FS_FILE-/usr/local/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch} FS_HOME=${FS_HOME-/usr/local/freeswitch} LOCK_FILE=/var/lock/subsys/freeswitch FREESWITCH_ARGS="-nc" RETVAL=0 ====================================== Thank you. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/-CentOS--Modifying-init-script--tp23151057p23151057.ht...
