Hi,
I have problem with runuser utility and permission to /dev/null. runuser is called from init script. When init script is run /etc/init.d/callrec start, then there are no problems with permissions, but when init script is called via service callrec start. Then runuser starts complaining about permissions.
runuser: /dev/null: Permission denied
What is strange is that I do not redirect to /dev/null anywhere. Permissions to /dev/null are:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Apr 16 16:39 /dev/null
The difference between calling init script from command line and from service tool is that service calls script as parameter of env
env -i LANG=en_US.UTF-8 PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin TERM=xterm /etc/init.d/callrec start
CentOS is 4.3.
Can somebody explain me where the problem is?

Sounds like a SELinux issue to me. Take a look at dmesg and the audit log.
