You don't want to run the server as root: it's much much safer to run it as a new user (with a "locked" account -- it doesn't need to log in).
I run it as 'slimserver' with its own group, though I don't use group permissions. My music directory is own by me (user 'bem'), but everything is world-readable, so the server can get to it. This is pretty much the same way that Apache is set up: except it runs as www-data, but the web pages need to be world-readable, too. I don't know how RH structures things so I can only guess on specifics on how to do that. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22846 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
