## Linux Users Read! - Regarding MASQNode daemon

The intention of MASQ Node and the MASQNode daemon is for it to be run by *sudo-ers* - i.e. not starting MASQNode as a user with root permissions.

If you run MASQNode with a user with root permissions or `root` user itself, it may write logs to the root directory.

To avoid this, if you insist on running MASQNode on a root access user, you can use the command: `sudo -E MASQNode --initialization`

OR

You can define the [`--real-user` parameter](broken://pages/-MQVUIMn2C_3bmF1k3Lw#real-user) in command line with a defined normal user.

#### This is not applicable to Windows environments, as most things will run with administrator access
