Hello,


I've been playing around with mod-ssl.  I wonder about the following
entries in the general error.log:

[Thu Jul  8 09:12:05 1999] [error] mod_ssl: Cannot open SSLSessionCache
DBM file `/var/run/ssl.dbm' for writing (store) (System error follows)
[Thu Jul  8 09:12:05 1999] [error] System: Permission denied (errno: 13)


I can see why it fails:

root@dps-1:/log/error # cd /var/run
root@dps-1:/var/run # ll ssl*
-rw-------   2 root     root        12288 jul  8 09:13 ssl.dbm.dir
-rw-------   2 root     root        12288 jul  8 09:13 ssl.dbm.pag
-rw-------   1 nobody   root            0 jul  8 09:13 ssl.sem.1113


So my question is:

Why is the *.dbm files owned by root, when the webserver runs as nobody
- that is like asking for trouble!  ;o)


Kind regards,


Brian
