If you are reporting that you invoke "nginx" as the super-user ("root") and it ignores the "user" directive in nginx.conf, that sounds to me like a bug that should be raised. If you are reporting that you invoke "nginx" as a non-root user, and it warns that the "user" directive in nginx.conf will be ignored, that is the expected behaviour. f -- Francis Daly fran...@daoine.org _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
