From 7a9abc2a04dd8ed1f113aa9c803af24adfb22773 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Adam Date: Tue, 2 Mar 2010 22:02:46 +0100 Subject: main: drop privileges right after reading the config This is the second part of fixing bug #74. I lets tinyproxy create its log and pid files as the user as which it is running, so that later on at SIGHUP, the log file can successfully be reopened.
