Comment (by phw):

 Replying to [comment:1 anarcat]:
 > the bridgescan user has been created on polyanthum. i made it so the
 bridgedb group can `sudo -u bridgescan` so I hope that's alright.

 Hmm, my user account phw is in the bridgedb group but I don't seem to be
 allowed to run commands as bridgescan:

 {{{
 phw at polyanthum:~$ id
 uid=2040(phw) gid=2040(phw)
 groups=2040(phw),1501(torproject),1531(bridgedb),2060(globe)
 phw at polyanthum:~$ sudo -u bridgescan id
 Sorry, user phw is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/id' as bridgescan on
 polyanthum.torproject.org.
 }}}

 > i would like to try with you folks another way to start the service, but
 i'll discuss that in that other ticket.

 > so just a heads up: don't start the thing with a `@reboot` cronjob yet
 please. :)

 Ok, gotcha.
