Well, what it probably should do is run as its own dedicated user as is done on other systems. But as has recently been discovered, the current system doesn't provide for a way to deliver these users in the packages, so until that is fixed some workaround is needed as it definitely should not run as nobody. So as a short term workaround I suppose webservd is better than nothing. -- Jyri J. Virkki - jyri.virkki at sun.com - Sun Microsystems
