rtpengine-recording-daemon as rtpengine user?

[Juha Heinanen]

I noticed that in mr10.4, rtpengine-daemon now runs by default as rtpengine user (debian/ngcp-rtpengine-daemon.default), but rtpengine-recording-deamon still defaults to root user (debian/ngcp-rtpengine-recording-daemon.default).  Could that too be changed to rtpengine user or must it be the user be root?

How are you starting the services? What's in the .default file shouldn't really matter if everything is started through systemd, and we already changed the user for the recording daemon there: https://github.com/sipwise/rtpengine/blob/mr10.4/debian/ngcp-rtpengine-recording-daemon.service#L15

Are you still on SysV init?

No, I'm using rtpengine as it is on github. I was comparing the debian
.default files and didn't realize that they don't count anymore
regarding the user.

I checked and both now run as rtpengine user as they should:

USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
rtpengi+ 592 0.0 0.9 273748 38748 ? SLsl 15:47 0:00 /usr/sbin/rtpengine-recording -f -E --no-log-timestamps --pidfile /run/rtpengine-recording/rtp
