[Monotone-devel] Server fails to start up because it messes with MT directory

[Peter Simons]

Hi,

I've run into the following problem: I start my monotone
Netsync server using a separate user id: 'monoserv'. When I
do so while being in a current working directory which is a
monotone repository though, I get this error message:

  monotone: fatal: std::exception:
    boost::filesystem::is_directory: "/root/MT":
    Permission denied

That's what I got while being in ~root, obviously.

Now, I start the process with

  --norc --rcfile=/full/path/to/permissions.lua

flags, so IMHO it shouldn't access the local MT directory!

Did I miss something, or is this a bug?

Peter
