Did I just read somewhere that beginning with a recent Zope release that the server no longer runs as user Nobody (for security reasons)? I've read so much stuff on Zope in the last week that I don't remember where I saw that or what it now runs as. Assuming someone gives me that name (please?) does that mean that the install HOWTO is already out-of-date (last modified 1/17/2000) and I need to substitute the new name for everywhere the HOWTO says "user nobody"? Or do I still follow the HOWTO to the letter? I'll be using 2.1.2 on LinuxPPC (Python 1.52). Many thanks! Darren Addy University of Nebraska at Kearney
No, out of the box it still runs as nobody if you start it as root. However, if you start it as a normal user, it will run as that user. Follow the HOWTO, it should get you to where you need to go. addyd@unk.edu wrote:
