Hi, I'm using PyICQt for a while and was always missing a small feature: Dropping privileges after start-up. Sometimes it is convenient to start an application as root, for example to open a logfile as root or to create a pid-file as root and then drop the privileges. This small feature is still missing in PyICQt. The attached patch should solve this gap. It introduces to new options: python PyICQt.py --user=nobody --group=1234 What do you think about this small fix and bringing it upstream? cheers Stefan

Moreover, I have ubuntu-based server that ships their own version of pyicq. There is proper pyicqt user and logrotation script in that package.

Yeah your right (both of you). No need for a patch. hmm I'm new to Google code ... how can I close this bug?
