[Pkg-mpd-maintainers] Bug#670665: mpd: init script doesn't read mpd config if user is changed in it and fails to start mpd daemon

[Florian Schlichting]

Hi,

could you please elaborate on your use case a little more?

I can see that things won't work if "user" is changed in /etc/mpd.conf,
but I don't understand why you'd need to run mpd as a different system
user. And if you want to run mpd as a non-system user, you'd do that
from the user's session instead of through an init script, using a
customized ~/.mpdconf with paths that point to places mpd can write to,
no?

So what are you trying to achieve?

Florian
