It seems everything works fine as a root. I wanted to test to run as
"conservr" user.
so I have created user and changed permission of /var/log/conserver and
/var/log/consoles/
but conserver still gets terminated with error "ERROR: Master(): bind(782):
Permission denied"

# cat /etc/default/conserver
# server options
#OPTIONS="-p 33000 -d"
# run as different user that root
RUNAS=conservr

# id conservr
uid=4215(conservr) gid=500(user) groups=500(user)

#chown root:user /var/log/conserver
#chown root.user /var/log/consoles/ -R
#chmod 775 /var/log/consoles/
#chmod 664 /var/log/consoles/*
#chmod g+s /var/log/console

#ls -ld /var/log/conserver
-rw-rw-r--. 1 root user 8008 Apr 7 11:54 /var/log/conserver

If anybody runs their conserver other then root and would like to know if
my permission should be different

Thanks so much in advance

Best regards,
Yash

You'll need to use the -p option to bind to a port number 1024 or greater. Only root can bind to ports below that. Your console client will need to use the same option to connect to the server at that point (or you rebuild from source with a port other than 782 so both client and server match). There are other tricky ways to get around the restriction as well...a favorite search engine should find the options.

Bryan,

I read it couple of time when I build rpm and yet I still skipped that port
number part.

Thank you for your quick help.
