Compiled on a HP-UX v10.20 D270 (PA8000) system with +DAH60 compiler switch. >Description: The httpd.conf file specifies a user and group to run httpd once started. httpd is started as root. Upon performing a ps, 7 httpd daemons are running with 6 being children of the intial httpd daemon. The 6 children httpd daemons show as being owned by the user specified in the httpd.conf file, However, the parent httpd daemon is still owned by root as is now an orphan of init (pid 1).
Is this normal behavior? I was under the impression, from reading the doc, that all instances (daemons) would switch to being owned by the user specified in the httpd.conf file. >How-To-Repeat: Possibly on a HP-UX 10.20 system >Fix: N >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
