+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.
