This is something like a master process, it doesn't access data files itself, but has to access the configuration files etc., which might be protected against reading for the world. (Or how should it re-read the config file after a SIGHUP?) As i understand it, all data file access happens through the setuid'ed children. -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de http://www.interface-business.de/~j
