Re[4]: RootDirectory and StayRoot

Helo!

  first, strace doesn't output nothing more

kujon:/home/klemen/mathopd# strace -f -o trace /home/klemen/mathopd/sbin/mathopd < conf/mathopd.conf
/home/klemen/mathopd/sbin/mathopd: Invalid user name.

Second, CGIs should run under one and only one user account in my
oppinion. Or did I miss the point here?
