I was thinking about the login you mentioned. The primary application I need this for is Asterisk. Like apache it is started as root and by passing -U <user> -G <group> parameters it will run as that <user>/<group> (asterisk/asterisk in my case). Do I still need to add the info to the initscript or do I add it to limits.conf?
