Any process started from /etc/inittab runs as root!

Here's my solution:

I've uncommented "1:235:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1" in /etc/inittab

(Use tty1 as it is selected automatically at startup)

1:235:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1 --> #1:235:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1

You can still switch to the other ttys by ALT-Fx to handle your OS !!!

Then put the following line into /etc/inittab

vdr:3:respawn:/PATH2VDRDIRECTORY/runvdr --terminal=/dev/tty1

Edit /PATH2VDRDIRECTORY/runvdr and set absolute paths to DVB-driver, etc.

Rene
