I'm following these instructions for writing a Sharing Plug-in, and towards the end I find this:

Code:

[sbox] > signond &

However, when I do that, I get an error about permissions:

Code:

[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86: ~] > signond &
[1] 2966
signond[2966]: GLIB CRITICAL ** default - signond: cannot setup proper DB access rights: 1

The only relevant posts I can find out there mentioning signond say this is supposed to run as root. sudo doesn't work in scratchbox, and neither does su -c.

So, my questions are:

1) What am I supposed to do to get the daemon to run as root in scratchbox?
2) Does it matter?

Cheers for any help.

*bump again*. (different time of day from last bump, maybe a different set of eyes will catch it).
