Missing privilege drop in 2.0.17 under OpenWrt / MIPS

[sz4bi]

After updating from 2.0.16 to 2.0.17, dnscrypt-proxy is not starting on OpenWRT / MIPS (TPLink WDR3600) platform until I comment out the "user_name" option in the configuration file:

daemon.alert dnscrypt-proxy[32619]: user: Current not implemented on linux/mips

[jedisct1]

Apparently, on Linux, the HOME and USER environment variables need to be set in order for this to work.

I don't know why :)

[jedisct1]

e4a1245 should fix it.

Thanks for the quick fix! Now starting with user_name 'nobody' enabled, but after that just crashing

Btw I used the GOMIPS=softfloat env. var for compilation, because without it I got Illegal instruction error at runtime.

Does it work if you don't change anything, only remove user_name?

[sz4bi]

yes, it's working if I comment out user_name, using it this way since compilation
