EsiObjects and xinetd user id problem...

[Terry]

I'm at the point where I'm testing a complete rewrite of the install.
I have a problem with xinetd.

The configuration file and the xinetd_startup script are listed below.

Starting up the xinetd service and connecting from the EO client works
just fine when I set user = tlwiechmann (my login which is in the etc/
passwd file). However, if I change that to user=root or bin or daemon
(in the /etc/passwd file also) – it does not work?

I get the following logged in the /var/log/syslog file: Jul 24
16:57:44 mars xinetd[25718]: setuid failed: Operation not permitted
(errno = 1)

This worked on the previous release??

Any suggestions?

Let me answer that question for you Terry - you have to start the
service up as root in order to use the service as root - duh!
