On Linux, to run MMDVMHost as a daemon, set "Daemon=1" in the ini file.
When this is set, MMDVMHost will attempt to drop privileges to user "mmdvm" and
group "mmdvm". If this user and group on your system, an error will occur and
MMDVMHost will not start.
To add these users, please do the following from the Linux command line:
groupadd mmdvm
useradd mmdvm -g mmdvm -s /sbin/nologin
usermod mmdvm -G dialout
Note, without the last line, MMDVMHost will not be able to open the modem.
Also note, when running as a daemon, STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR are closed, so you
must use a logfile to capture logging
and the logfile entry in the ini file must be given a full path as MMDVMHost
calls "cd /" when daemonising.
