Summary	0000041: start scripts should start the daemons directly as required user/group instead of usig the -g and -u switches.
Description	When using the -g and -u switches, the crashdumps cannot be created correctly because of missing privileges. On suse, it is very simple to use /sbin/startproc /usr/sbin/bareos-dir $2 -u bareos -g bareos -c /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.conf instead of /sbin/startproc -u bareos -g bareos /usr/sbin/bareos-dir $2 -c /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.conf Only the pid file has to be changed to be owned by bareos:bareos. On Redhat, we have to find out how to start the programms directly under an other user.
