I have installed the aMule daemon via the Gentoo portage system. It created the necessary config files in /etc/conf.d for amuled and amuleweb. It has also created a user named 'p2p'. Now I have to start the deamon for the first time, in oder to create the configuration in /home/p2p/.aMule/ but:
-When I do '/etc/init.d/amuled start' it states I should start in from the console.
-When I start it from the console as root it states that it is a bad idea to do so, creates the config in /root/aMule/ (where I do not want it) and terminate due to some error regarding external connections (which I can not fix, since I still have no config file)
-Starting it from the console as the user p2p fails, since the shell for this user ist set to /sbin/nologin/ to prevent the user from opening a console (security reason, I suppose)
So this ist my question: How does one start the aMule daemon for the first time?
