[solved} glpi-discovery as non-root user

Hi

im using GLPI and im very happy. But there is a situation and im not knowing if its an older problem or not.

Its possible that the glpi-discover command just running with root?

[glpireporting@cacti ~]$ glpi-netdiscovery --first 10.0.0.1 --last 10.0.0.254
Can't write in /var/lib/glpi-agent/__LOCAL__ at /usr/share/glpi-agent/lib/GLPI/Agent/Storage.pm line 35.

the user glpireporting has write access to his own homedirectory.

If I need root for that, what is the reason?

Regards,
Manuel

Re: [solved} glpi-discovery as non-root user

I dont know if this error comes from an update or not. But the solution was:

chmod g+rw /var/lib/glpi-agent/__LOCAL__/
chgrp my_normal_user /var/lib/glpi-agent/__LOCAL__/

and then it works like expected.
