I'd like to do this and avoid any security holes if possible. I've seen code that uses setgid? or setuid? to do this but I'm not sure I want to go down that road if there is an offical way of doing this with FreeBSD. Also, others have mentioned super? but I still get permissions errors? I'm currently looking through the archive mail lists but so far no concrete info. All I can find is use app this and that but no config parameters? Help?
