1 Hi List.

3 I've just removed the code to check for euid when running services and instead
4 relying on permissions of the service state dir and testing errno. This is a
5 good thing, but it does have one side effect.

7 OpenRC can track daemons by how they were started. So every time you run
8 rc-status it tests each reported service to ensure all daemons are up. This
9 also works fine unprivileged on normal boxes - except for hardened where
10 users can only see their own processes.
11
12 This isn't really an easy answer, as we could have installed OpenRC in a
13 prefix where this wouldn't apply, but we don't know that either.
14
15 Ideas anyone?

17 Thanks
