It also opens some log files in /var/log/apache with root privileges IIRC. This `master' process spawns a number of request handlers which drop privileges before serving requests. If you do `ps ax', you can see this: one apache process will have user `root', while the others are all listed as www-data. Tomcat cannot use this principle, because a Java program has no way to change the UID. -- G. ``Iggy'' Geens - ICQ: #64109250 Home: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Work: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WWW: http://users.pandora.be/guy.geens/ `I want quality, not quantity.
