Description:   Opened: 2008-01-24 21:09 0000
The current ebuild creates user and group gnunetd, while /etc/init.d/gnunet
tries to run gnunetd as user gnunet:

start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background --exec /usr/bin/gnunetd \
                -- -u gnunet -c /etc/gnunetd.conf

If one keeps default user names, this problem can be more severe than it seems
to be:
$ man gnunetd
...
If you start gnunetd as root (which is not required), you can use the -u option
such that GNUnet runs as a different user. If a group of the same name exists,
GNUnet will also change to that group. If GNUnet cannot change its UID to USER
or GID to USER, a warning will be printed and gnunetd will *continue* with the
rights of the user that invoked gnunetd.

Fixed, thanks.
