Hi there,
I am using aolserver and openacs on my home server.
In order to set up aolserver service on port 80 using daemontools, i did the following procedure:
I opened the file openacs/etc/config.tcl and properly set to port 80, then i restart the machine
and I got the expected error.

[31/Oct/2009:10:48:38][2975.3083900608][-main-] Fatal: could not start drivers
because port 80 is not a user-land port. i will have to start the aolserver instance as root, while making sure that nothing else is listening on that port.
That means to make daemontools start aolserver as root user
Then, i shut down daemontools svc -d /service/openacs and I ran the command as root user:
svgroup root /service/*
I restarted the machine again. But it didn't work, daemontools still starts aolserver as openacs user.
I realized that some services of daemontools already run as root user and somehow it changes to openacs to start aolserver

Furthermore, if i shut down daemontools svc -d /service/openacs
I can start aolserver manually as root user using the command:
/usr/local/aolserver/bin/nsd-postgres -it /usr/local/aolserver/servers/openacs/etc/config.tcl -u openacs -g web
and everything works fine on port 80
I went back to the installation procedure of daemontools to verify where in daemontools i set openacs as the user to exec aolserver. But i have not found anything related.
That's how i compiled and install daemontools:
# Install Daemontools
mkdir -p /package
chmod 755 /package
cd /package
wget http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/daemontools-0.76.tar.gz
wget http://www.qmail.org/moni.csi.hu/pub/glibc-2.3.1/daemontools-0.76.errno.patch
tar -xvfz daemontools-0.76.tar.gz
cd admin/daemontools-0.76
patch -Np1 -i ../../daemontools-0.76.errno.patch
package/install
cvs -d:pserver:mailto:anonymous@cvs.openacs.org:/cvsroot co openacs-4/packages/acs-core-docs/www/files/svgroup.txt
mv openacs-4/packages/acs-core-docs/www/files/svgroup.txt /usr/sbin/svgroup
chmod 700 /usr/sbin/svgroup
How do i make daemontools to run the script under openacs/etc/daemontools/run as root user?
