i’m trying to modify my haproxy(HA-Proxy version 1.8.8-1ubuntu0.4 2019/01/24) cfg file to run as user haproxy … my config is running fine … if i uncomment the three directives below from my global settings … the proxy no longer works - any ideas what i’m doing wrong ? thanks in advance,

this is my passwd entry for user haproxy …
haproxy:x:126:130::/var/lib/haproxy:/sbin/nologin

global
maxconn 100
