Has the Fedora project gone to the trouble to set up phpMyAdmin users? I know they've been pushing a number of services out to service-specific users. Would be great if they've gone this far. (I think Debian has, too. Hmm. Yeah. Clamav, lightdm, gdm, sshd, saned, hplip, exim, ..., user ids over 99.) >> And no, it does NOT >> have to be configured by the system administrator.

Well, FWIW, I've seen my share of servers operating in enterprises that started their lives as boxes set up and admin-ed by people like those in this group. (Wandering off to lists.debian.org, to see if there really is a debian-isp list ... Oh. My goodness, there is.) -- Joel Rees Be careful where you see conspiracy.
