RE: Set group id using jsvc?
How can you set that? Would that allow files created or written to by tomcat to get permissions I want ? We are using servers with the tanuki java service wrapper. Hopefully it can be done with that the same way...

Hello, I know that jsvc will let you set the user id of the tomcat process, but will it also let you set the group id of the process?

Off the top of my head I don't know; but you can grep the source code for setgid() (or even setegid()). That call sets group membership. Do you need jsvc to run Tomcat on a privileged port? If not, you could use erni[1] for fine-tuned group membership. -QM [1] = http://www.brandxdev.net/erni/index.site -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net/ tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com/ code scan -- http://www.JxRef.org/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Set group id using jsvc?
Why not make the user that Tomcat runs at a member of the group you need it in? Why do you need to change the group if it is set ahead of time?
