Nope. Forking means nothing but starting a new process within another. Especially with server- (= deamon-) processes, as in this case, this is commonly used to start child processes hat e.g. have different user-ids. For example the first Apache process starts with uid root (this has to be that way because port 80 is a protected port accessible only by root) an then forks several children with non-root uids ... Hm. Very simplified, but hopefully enough to make you feel better :-) ta -------------------------------------------------------------------------- smartferret it-consulting Dipl.-Ing.

forking means spawning up the Zope processes from the parent process. your messages are just debugging messages and there is no reason to worry about.
