           Summary: invalid su syntax for BSDs
           Product: Koha
           Version: 2.2.5
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: OpenBSD
            Status: NEW

          Priority: P2

Koha 2.2.5 on OpenBSD 3.9

The syntax for the su command in
/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/z3950-daemon-launch.sh is invalid for
OpenBSD and FreeBSD and quite likely NetBSD.

For OpenBSD (FreeBSD and NetBSD are similar)
su [-fKLlm] [-a auth-type] [-c login-class] [login [shell arguments]]
also the '-' switch has been deprecated in favour of -l

so instead of
su -c $KohaZ3950Shell - $RunAsUser &

I'd recommend the following
su -l $RunAsUser -c $KohaZ3950Shell &

The -c is actually an argument to the shell in this case; it means take a
command from argument instead of stdin. It should work with sh, csh, tcsh, ksh,
and bash. I think it'll still work on Linux in that form but I havn't tested.

Tested on OpenBSD 3.9 with ksh.
