I'm a newbi, but it seems that there is much more power in this forum than the newbi forum - hope it dosn't bother annyone that I ask this question here :) I have read somewhere that it is a good idea to make you'r applications run under specific users, and not under root. How is the best way to configure such a user, as an example a user for the Apache httpd deamon (i got so far as to name the user httpd). Should it be in a specific group, have restricted rights and so on... -- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards, Søren Neigaard mailto:neigaard@e-box.dk -- "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler."
