Description Juan Orti 2012-04-24 10:51:09 CEST

Although a minidlna user is created in the installation, it's not used while running the service.

It should be specified in the systemd service unit, otherwise the service is running as root.

Updated SPEC file

This is a updated spec file based on 1.0.24-1 with the following improvements:
- tmpfiles.d configuration, so it can write its pid file to /var/run/minidlna as the minidlna user
- Add /var/cache/minidlna and /var/log/minidnla with write permission
- Modify config file to reflect this changes.

systemd service

Updated version of the systemd service unit, now it launches the service as the minidlna user, and write its pid to a different location.
I have changed the After directive to network.target, because it's the recommended way.

Thank you for reporting this issue. I just built an updated package for all the branches. It should appear soon in updates-testing.
