My mistake, I see that it's working fine in the child process for each request. I assumed that this would be done by the parent, so was surprised to see fossil running as root in the top output. Is there a reason why the parent has to keep running as root when given a directory argument to the server command? - Max _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
