BTW, I found that the initscript included in the Fedora RPM launches the server as root instead of mumble-server (unprivileged user) and murmur must drop privs once started. This causes the log file and sqlite DB to be created owned by root, which causes problems later. The fix is to use the --user option in the initscript. I need to cut another SRPM to address that.
I suppose that if you are using the default non-privileged port then there is no reason to start as root then drop to mumble-server user. I don't see this behaviour in the mandriva rpm files that i cut out and used. Next stop is getting SELinux to play nicely with it. It is also just another bit of software that i have to track manually though would be much happier to have it in the RPM database as my "check for updates" bookmarked tab group is getting longer and more painful to use.
