We changed it to run user "was" instead of root. Piece of cake - no issues at all.

Schmidt - at Potomac Electric Power Company Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2004 11:01 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [LINUX-390] Who should own WebSphere? We are currently running the WebSphere Application Server (version 5.1) on a Linux for zSeries image. Since the installation requirements were to run the install process using the "root" id, WebSphere is currently owned by "root" and is started and running under a "root" id. We are aware of the documentation that shows how to go about changing the ownership of the WebSphere directories and files. However, we have been reluctant to change the ownership in case there are sideline issues that would cause problems if ownership was transferred. I would like to find out: 1) If anyone switched over to a user without "root" authority and if they have had any problems. 2) For those people that did not switch over, what drove the decision to keep WebSphere running under "root".
