Hi,
I've installed recently OpenOffice.org 3.1 on Centos 5.3. I use OOo in headless mode. I have no problem when running as root, but I'd prefer run it as non-root user (oooserver user). When I run the script in debug mode this is the output:

End oif Output
You can see the ps output too:

Problem is that it fails at listening on port 2002 and it never creates pid file:
ls -ld /var/run/ooo-headless/ drwxr-xr-x 2 oooserver oooserver 4096 Jul 30 15:07 /var/run/ooo-headless/
Please could you help me to root as non-root user?
Thanks in advance!
