I've got junkbuster installed on a FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE machine, and I'm having some trouble at startup time: the startup script that gets put in /usr/local/etc/rc.d contains the following line: su -m nobody -c "/usr/local/sbin/junkbuster configfile &" But when the machine starts up execution halts at that line with a message: mesg: /dev/ttyp0: Operation not permitted I've checked /etc/passwd (with vipw) and there is an entry for user nobody. But when I'm logged in as root, I can get this same error message just by typing `su -m nobody` -- so is there some kind of trick I have to do to make junkbuster run as an unprivileged process?
