Hi,

I have the following warning for all the shinken daemons :

WARNING: [Shinken] Cannot call the additional groups setting with initgroups (Operation not permitted)

I’m starting shinken with user "shinken" (not root…). What additional privileges my user needs to do this (additional groups setting ?!) ?

OS is Debian (Sid)

Hi, sorry for the delay. You have to start shinken as root user. It takes care to drop privileges on its own.

You can configure the user and group you want it to run under using the shinken_user and shinken_group in the main configuration file.
