Was curious. bind has well documented easy to impliment ways to run as non root and in chroot(). sendmail has an easy way to run many tasks as non root
however defaults in debian don't take advantage of any of this, its not hard for people to add but it would be nice if the debs defaulted to the more secure behavior to help the newbies. apache does come pre-configured to run as non root .. is there any disavantage to doing this ?? nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
