jsvc expects to be run as root such that it can call setuid() and setgid() to change to the nonroot user that actually runs the daemon process. IIRC since jsvc expects root privs, calls to setuid() and setgid() fail when it is run as a nonroot user (in your case, "tomcat") even though said user is the intended daemon user. Long story short: sounds like expected behavior to me. ;) -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
