Thanks that solves part of the problem!

But that raises two questions for me:

1) I followed this in attempt to create the auto boot:   
http://answers.perforce.com/articles/KB/10832
I also have a user called 'perforce' with limited permissions, and if
start p4d manually through that user, i get 'perforce' listed on
members.
But if i use the auto boot from the service it gives me the user root, despite
ps aux telling me the user for that process is indeed perforce, what am i doing
wrong? (i know it's not an easy situation to debug like this so thanks)

2) Given the current scenario, only the admin can create users but supposing
someone could create the perforce user 'root' could that pose a security
issue?
