Distributions usually ship with their own startup scripts, so they're free to always use -u. And even if an user starts the vdr process manually, its usually from a non-root account, or? (btw. my vdr has always been running unprivileged, and I've used the su patch before) What about throwing a warning to console if vdr runs as root and no -u is specified? Cheers, Udo
