Yes. If you set up your permissions in a really weird way, you can have that. > And there is a distinction between > running as a service and running as a program(?!). Yes. And this is a good thing! :-) There is no reason a normal user should be able to run a service process. And services should normally have dedicated accounts, and there is no reason you should ever need to log in as that account interactively. //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
