[Pdns-users] pdns-recursor Permissions Error

[Sharone]

Hi Remi,
Sorry looks like I may have misinterpreted your question.
Even when invoke the command rec_control version as myself I do get an
error.


*$ rec_control versionFatal: Unable to generate local temporary file in
directory '/var/run/pdns-recursor': Permission denied*


Regards,
Sharone B.
