[Twisted-Python] Aplication process uid/gid

[Miguel Filho]

Hello list,

The code:
===============================
import pwd
from apolicy.config import config
...
from twisted.protocols import basic
from twisted.internet import reactor, protocol, task
from twisted.application import internet, service
...
user = pwd.getpwnam(config.get("main","user"))
application = service.Application('apolicy', uid=user[2], gid=user[3])
serviceCollection = service.IServiceCollection(application)

address, port = config.get("main", "listen").split(":")

internet.TCPServer(int(port), ACLPolicyDaemonFactory(),
interface=address).setServiceParent(serviceCollection)
===============================

I'm using twistd to start my daemon, the process starts normally and
the owner is the user nobody.

# ps uaxf | grep nobody
nobody   29052  0.1  0.6  13140  6440 ?        S    09:11   0:01
/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/twistd -y
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/apolicy/server.py -q --logfile
/var/log/twistd.log --pidfile=/var/run/twistd.pid

My class ACLPolicyDaemonFactory() tries to write a file to test if the
path given to my application is writable and has no problems, but the
file is created as root. What is the point where the process is
already running as nobody?

Regards,

Miguel
