Hello there, Very few programs should run as root, most run as a non-privielged user. For this reason we should strive towards making ht://Dig run as a non-privileged user if it does not already do it. At the moment I don't see where htdig needs root privs, so starting 3.2.0b6 I'll create a separate system user (htdig) all te programs can run as Would also solve http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=63406 Robert ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The Robotic Monkeys at ThinkGeek For a limited time only, get FREE Ground shipping on all orders of $35 or more.
