Daemons and tricky permissions

[Alejandro Rios Peña]

Hello Mentors.

I'm in a big trouble with a couple of packages: destar and op-panel.

The thing is that the destar daemon has a runtime feature that requires
restarting the init script of the 'op-panel' program.

They both are being started by init scripts, using the option "--chuid
asterisk", so they can run with the same asterisk user, but when destar
tries to do:

/etcc/init.d/op-panel restart

I (obviuosly?) get:

Stopping Flash Operator Panel: op-panel.
Starting Flash Operator Panel: op-panelstart-stop-daemon: Unable to set
initgroups() with gid 113 (Operation not permitted)

I've also tried starting the daemons with "--group asterisk"  and
"--chuid asterisk:asterisk", but it doesn't work.

I really don't know if there is a common workaround for this, or if I
should tell the user on README.Debian how to set the permissions by
hand.

Help would be really appreciated, since this is the only thing left to
get this packages ready for the upcoming freeze.

Regards.

Alejandro Rios.
