sp00n,

Flex does not need to run as root:

Somewhere on their webpage they have some scripts, I crafted some myself, and
didn't see a need to run a license manager as root.

In the following script note the use of 'su daemon -c' and relocating the
log file to somewhere more sensible. (-l blah)

Here is the script:

#!/bin/sh
#
# quircky script to start license gumbo

case "$1" in
'start')
        if [ -x /tools/licenses/bin/lmgrd ] ; then

                echo "Starting FLEXlm license service."
        fi
        ;;
'stop')
