Hi all,
I've been running Apache for quite a while, but I'm trying to secure my sys=
tem and keep as many things from running as root as possible. I have the =
Apache config set to the default www as the user to run under, but the in=
itial httpd process runs as root. Is there a way to get all the httpd pro=
cesses to run as www?
