this is the normal behavior when zope is started as the root user. it switches to "nobody". you can start zope as any user you want (provided you don't bind to ports under 1024). jens On Saturday, August 24, 2002, at 04:33 , Robert Oschler wrote:

I have Zope starting as a daemon, still inhibits further boot log messages after it starts, but it is starting.  I notice that in the process list (KDE's kpm utility), it shows up as 'python' with the owner being 'root'.  All the other zope processes show up with the owner being 'nobody'.  Is this correct?  Or will the launch script showing up as owned by 'root' create a security problem.   thx
