maemo.org - Talk - signond permissions?

I'm following these instructions for writing a Sharing Plug-in, and towards the end I find this:

Quote:

Important: When testing inside scratchbox remember to start the signond daemon after the desktop is started. Signond is used for storing the account information and it's needed in order to get Sharing framework working properly

Code:

[sbox] > signond &

However, when I do that, I get an error about permissions:

Code:

[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86: ~] > signond &

[1] 2966

signond[2966]: GLIB CRITICAL ** default - signond: cannot setup proper DB access rights: 1

The only relevant posts I can find out there mentioning signond say this is supposed to run as root. sudo doesn't work in scratchbox, and neither does su -c.

So, my questions are:

1) What am I supposed to do to get the daemon to run as root in scratchbox?
2) Does it matter?

Cheers for any help.
