Hi all,
Look in the apache configuration files (normally /etc/httpd/conf)
at the file httpd.conf
There is a stanza in it: (about line 135)
-------------
# User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.
# On SCO (ODT 3) use User nouser and Group nogroup
# On HPUX you may not be able to use shared memory as nobody, and the
# suggested workaround is to create a user www and use that user.
# NOTE that some kernels refuse to setgid(Group) or semctl(IPC_SET)
# when the value of (unsigned)Group is above 60000;
# don't use Group nobody on these systems!
User nobody
Group nobody
-------------
Mystery solved.
Can we kill this thread now ? It's not even remotely related to Tomcat.
Cheers,
