That's something a normal user would not customize, they already know dynamic files are in logs/, so it seems like something we should be able to leave pidfile in the mpm config. As for user/group security, I'm sort of seeing your point, but even that doesn't belong in this file if they have something more sophisticated like perchild going on, with multiple user and group directives per-context. >I also think I will probably put a commented-out MaxClients (and equivalent >win32/netware) directive back in httpd.conf, since that is another important >mpm-related directive that everyone needs to know about. If that means it's noted in two locations, they are subject to change one without the other, and end up with inexplicable configuration issues. Bill
