Hi - In my inetd.conf I've got ... cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/cvs cvs --allow-root=/usr/local/newrepos pserver .... I'm not expert but I thought this meant that when data arrives at the port associated with cvspserver then cvs should be run under the userid root. However in an O'Reilly book I have to hand it says that "the cvs server runs briefly as root" - how can I find out what user it runs as once it stops running as root ? It's not visible via ps as it starts, does whatever is necessary and then stops. I have a problem which I think may be permissions related so the owner of the task is of some interest to me. regards richard shea. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Cuba Group PO Box 1864 Wellington New Zealand PH +64 4 496 5205 MO +64 21 296 6839 FX +64 4 496 5209 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
