It looks like the p4p init file is just copies from the p4d init file. I'll attach a patch that fixes this problem for me. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. /etc/init.d/perforce-proxy start 2. access perforce via the proxy 3. look at /var/log/perforce-proxy Actual Results: erforce proxy error: Date 2004/07/12 10:52:52: Operation: flush2 can't make directory for depot/depot/main/Apps/PDK/src/DynDLL/Makefile,v mkdir: depot: Permission denied Expected Results: No error message.

The patch is actually reversed. Sorry about that.
Created attachment 84449 [details, diff] init.d-perforce-proxy.patch I believe the line that stripped out the -d and -r arguments was correct, but the stop() function was obviously wrong. I propose this patch instead that uses start-stop-daemon --stop which should do the same trick, but should be easier to maintain.
I'm no longer maintaining this package. No-one else has stepped up and volunteered to maintain it; we will be dropping Perforce from Portage shortly. Best regards, Stu
