Hi All,<br><br>On the Freeswitch init page (Debian) the setup you to create a user &quot;freeswitch&quot; to run the FS process. When I did this, freeswitch started up but wasn&#39;t able to find/open channels to my sangoma/wanpipe hardware. Is this because:<br>

<br>1. The sangoma hardware was installed and running through root, which is a different user than the one running FS?<br>2. Wanrouter is not getting started before freeswitch on system boot?<br><br>Is there a disadvantage to setting up the init script for FS to be run by root? Will that solve this problem?<br>

<br>Thanks in advance from a Linux/FS newbie,<br>Neil<br>
