The appserver user and 5.2.3 deployment on panther.

Greetings,

I recently updated a WO deployment machine to panther 10.3.3 with 
webobjects 5.2.3, and installed the WebObjects script and 
StartupParameters.plist recommended by Apple on the support site after 
discovering that wo didn't start automatically any more. This worked in 
getting wotaskd and JavaMonitor running on os start, but I continue to 
have permission issues in the running apps.

If I run the following (from the WebObjects startup script):

                 # This set of invocations will launch wotaskd and
                 # (optionally) Monitor as root.  This is less secure 
than
                 # starting as 'appserver'

                 "$WOSERVICE" -appPath "$WOTASKD" 
 >/var/log/webobjects.log 2>&1 &

                 # Uncomment the next line to start Monitor as root at 
boot time
                 "$WOSERVICE" -appPath "$WOJAVAMONITOR" -WOPort 56789 
-WOAutoOpenInBrowser NO >>/var/log/webobjects.log 2>&1 &

then wotaskd and JavaMonitor run as root, but the app instances still 
run as appserver. I don't see anything in this script or 
javawoservice.sh that indicates where that is coming from. Ths 
instances run, but calls to lpr (via system) and other services fail.

Anyone else having difficulties running their apps as appserver?

Thanks!
Jim
