Description Jan Kundrát (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-12-04 13:14:58 UTC 
kundratj@batsheba ~ $ /etc/init.d/sshd status
 * /sbin/runscript.sh: must be root to run init scripts

Current method is obviously broken because the $* contains the name of the whole init script. This breaks for example automated Nagios sensors checking for health of services because NRPE typically runs as a non-privileged user. Patch will be attached.
