Hi all, I followed everyone's suggestions and so far so good. I set up the
users like John suggested, and disable the desktop environment like Matt
suggested. I disabled this service by changing my run level to 3. I now
have to get Tomcat back into the startup... For now I have started it

Good questions, all. :)
1) Apache has a lot of processes, one is the root process used to bind to
port 80, the others are children ready to serve HTTP requests. That's
normal. The root process on 80 is the one attributed to user root, the
children

Perfect example why you shouldn't stay logged in as root, and should only be
root when necessary. LOL

Apache normally runs multiple processes to handle multiple simoultaneous
user requests. This can be configured in your httpd.conf. Tomcat runs
multiple processes, which it calls workers. Since tomcat is in java
and not a truly binary-compiled language (like C or C++) it runs under
java which is

Hi -
Not sure what you mean about logged in as root. Apache and Tomcat are
services, there is no need for anyone to be logged in to run them.
Apache needs to run as root to bind to port 80 (root is required to bind
to port numbers 1024, this is by design
- or rather trying to ; )

You should not be as root all the time becouse root can do anything, and any
little mistake could be desastrous, like running rm when you actually meant
mv, or stuff like that.
It is safe (as far as someone sniffing your root password, or any other
user's) to use ssh, but don't stay connected
. They
usually ended up getting burned or fired or both, eventually.
