Topic: daemon needs non-root user

[boss_hog]

Hey yall,
I am doing some install testing for Wcal.
The box is SME 6.01.
I was able to get through all the dependencies, but am unable to get the "wcald" to start.
It requires a non-root user to start wcald.
I have created wcal <user> but am not having any luck.
The wcald "can see" that I am logged in as root, which stops the daemon from starting.
I have tried doing su wcald wcal&, but it gives errors about permissions.
Any help or suggestions appreciated.
Joe

P.S. I am trying to make an install How-To for Wcal.

Hey Ran
thanks for the hints!
I am hoping to get some free time next week. At which time I will try to get Wcal running again on a fresh install.
If there are any new developments afterwards, I will drop a note back here.
