Description:Although all permissions are setup correctly, if asterisk is started as:

asterisk -U asterisk -G asterisk -vvvg -c

(the command line arguments are not important, important is the user and group)

I can not connect to the console with asterisk -r. strace reports:

On asterisk.ctl:

srwxr-xr-x  1 asterisk asterisk 0 Aug 10 22:09 /var/run/asterisk.ctl

The connect does not work when I am looged with asterisk or root user.


****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******


If I start asterisk as root, there is no problem.

This is a simple permissions problem on /var/run, not an asterisk issue.

I made other tests and I do not think that it's a permissions problem. If you think that it is, can you please let me know what's the issue?

On my test system /var/run had to be writable by user asterisk.  I was able to then run asterisk and connect without a problem.  Please do not reopen this bug without speaking to someone in #asterisk or #asterisk-bugs first.
