Hi.

I've just upgraded to 1.0.13 and I'm trying to use the new uid/gid
options. There's some issue with it (I know it's still experimental):

- First, we have to enter numeric value in the config file. If we enter
the name of the user/group (I've created a user called coovachilli on my
system, and set uid and gid to coovachilli), we have this error message
on chilli startup:

Starting chilli: coova-chilli: invalid numeric value: chilli

- Second, if we enter numeric uid/gid, there's a error message
in /var/log/message like this:
chilli.c: 3766: 1 (Operation not permitted) setgid(5016) failed while
running with gid = 0

Not sure if it's just a warning, as chilli daemon seems to have droped
the privileges:

ps aux | grep chilli
coovachilli   14056  1.9  0.1  7428 2124 ?        Ss   19:28
0:00 /usr/sbin/chilli


Cheers, Daniel
