"Unexpected" how? Step-by-step: 1/ The boot script is called by root. 2/ Root runs jsvc, which calls the port (or whatever) with root privs. 3/ Root then calls setuid() et al under the covers to switch IDs to the Tomcat user. 4/ Tomcat (or whatever daemon) is run as the specified user. -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]
