Heitor,
Thanks! That was my understanding. The file, /etc/init.d/bacula-sd, includes
the shell function:
> do_start()
> {
>
> start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE \
> --oknodo --exec $DAEMON -- -c $CONFIG $ARGS
>

So, along with the other parameter assignment statements I added:
> ARGS="-u root -g bacula"
thinking that this would do it after a restart. But, it didn't. after the
restart bacula-sd still was running as bacula/tape. Either those are not the
correct options or they are being overridden somehow -- or I just don't
understand shell programming. :-)
Cheers!
