Am I missing something?
I just checked one of our QA servers and we are indeed running it as nobody: nobody 24650 24648 0 Sep 30 ? 306:11 /data/www/appserver/cfusionmx/bin/cfusion -start default nobody 24648 1 0 Sep 30 ? 0:00 /data/www/appserver/cfusionmx/bin/cfusion -autorestart -start default scorfiel 28370 28362 0 13:38:39 pts/1 0:00 fgrep cf Then I checked another one: scorfiel 23763 23758 0 13:40:03 pts/2 0:00 fgrep cf nobody 27009 27007 0 Sep 04 ? 1435:01 /data/www/appserver/neo/bin/cfusion -start default nobody 27007 1 0 Sep 04 ? 0:00 /data/www/appserver/neo/bin/cfusion -autorestart -start default Also running as nobody (that one's a production server, BTW). As far as I know, our guys just followed the installation instructions but I'll ask them if there were any issues around the 'nobody' user.
