Running with wrong user id on FreeBSD #57

Closed rainlance closed 5 years ago

rainlance commented 5 years ago

When The Onion Box is started with /usr/sbin/daemon -u ${theonionbox_user} ${command}, it does run as user theonionbox_user, but the console (tty) username appears in the log file. For example: Running with permissions of user 'rainlance' when it should state: Running with permissions of user '_tor'

Technically spoken The Onion Box is running with the permissions of the user defined. It yet fails to detect the name of this user correctly.

The fix provided should alter the way of detection thus ensuring proper functionality on *BSD systems (and all others). Could you please verify?

The fix works. User is now detected correct. Tested on FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p9 amd64.
