You get this error:
Sun Mar 27 22:20:27 2011 freepopsd: PID: Cannot create pid file
"/var/run/freepopsd.pid"


because you're running it as user, it should be run as root, and this already happens automatically with the freepopsd init script.

I assume this is fixed / not a problem then and will close the report accordingly.
