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.
