If only! sshd ends up running as root, both if I start it manually or if I reboot/restart the service. And as I say, many (all?) of my other daemons run as root also, isn't this considered a security problem? Could I have messed up my passwd file or something? What would make my init process run everything as root? What log file should I be peeping at to find "hey, I tried to lower my privileges, but I failed." Diffused Dave
