Hi José. One thing seems to be wrong, or does not make sense to me. |

I have never used Dante, but from reviewing a little code i can see |
| 4 |
the point where is failing is because is attempting to get the group |
| 5 |
you have configured to run, but the user does not have permissions for |
| 6 |
that group. Please make sure that the user you select (sockd) belongs |
| 7 |
to the group dante is asked to run on. Just an idea. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
sure you are not missing any obscure configuration? :) |

| 11 |
kind regards, |
