Make debian-packages run under non-root user #299

Closed danbim closed 11 years ago

danbim commented 11 years ago

Currently, the Debian packages will install an init script that runs TR as the privileged root user. Better to create a user for the process and run the process with that user.

Accidental close... the gateway has problems connecting to the devices when run under that user. I've already added the user to the dialout group, enabling him to connect to serial ports but the process still can't connect...
