I'm reposting... sorry for omitting a subject line - apologies. Also in the command and error message, the orion user was specified with the same result. java -Dnative.user=orion -jar orion.jar & Error setting native user (orion): java.lang.ClassFormatError: com/evermind/server/NativeSupport (Code attribute in native or abstract methods) --------------------------------------- Greetings, I work with a small team of developers. Our initial development is an employee directory. And so far, we are pleased with our recent experience developing with Orion. My complements to the Orion team. I have been looking into file and directory access permissions on a Redhat 6.1 Linux box with Sun's jdk1.2.2 and Orion 1.0rc1. As we take on other projects, it seems desirable to manage the team member's access to the orion applications via group permissions and not allow everyone of us root privilege. We set up an user named orion as a member of the www group. All team members are in the www group. However, when orion is started by root, the group is also root. Files created while running as root deny write permission for the group. In reviewing the mail archive, I read the posting on the subject "Re: Orion on Linux" on 14 April 2000. Magnus mentions the native.user parameter as a possibility. When I try this, I get an error. java -Dnative.user -jar orion.jar & Error setting native user (): java.lang.ClassFormatError: com/evermind/server/NativeSupport (Code attribute in native or abstract methods) Has anyone else tried this? I'm sure there is a lot I don't know in this regard. I would appreciate any discussion or recommendations. Kind regards, Earl
