[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi,

“Address already in use” makes me directly think that there is already
another daemon running. Strangely, starting another daemon as root
works. It seems to take the socket from the other daemon away. Is this
intended? Or can two daemons run in parallel without problems?

What is your use case? Do you want to run the daemon us unprivileged
user or did you forget to add sudo?

Martin
