As a general rule you really don't want to run internet accessible daemons as root. I personally use the Debian convention of www-data user and group for my webserver, mongrels and cron triggered rake tasks. It doesn't matter too much which user you use, just pick or create one with reduced privileges. You want to minimise the impact of a malicious user finding an exploitable bug in the prcess. -- James Healy <jimmy-at-deefa-dot-com> Sat, 23 May 2009 16:14:36 +1000 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thinking Sphinx" group.
