Hello, I am running Apache 1.3.9 and I am wondering, if this might be a security issue. There is always one Apache-process running as root.
$ ps aux | grep apache says: root 513 0.0 1.0 2496 1276 ? S 18:57 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache www-data 514 0.0 1.0 2520 1272 ? S 18:57 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache www-data 515 0.0 1.0 2520 1272 ? S 18:57 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache www-data 516 0.0 1.0 2520 1272 ? S 18:57 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache www-data 517 0.0 1.0 2520 1272 ? S 18:57 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache www-data 518 0.0 1.0 2520 1272 ? S 18:57 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache >From my point of understanding Apache starts as root and then switches to www-data. Ok, but does this mean, that a host might connect to the root-Apache? Phil
