Hi I don't know how to use the setuid command.

I were trying to find some documentation or tutorial and BTW I red the 
manual information for the setuid function.

I tried to add the following line at the rtpproxy init script but I only 
got an error:
setuid ser

Could anybody give me a hand?

Regards

Alberto Cruz

Patch it by doing read() in a loop until we actually get the data. While I am here, allow V command to take extra argument, which we don't process but put into the log file. This allows to pass some extra information from the client (SER in this case) such as PID number for example.
