Broadly: it runs as a user when doing operations on behalf of that user, and as root when doing system tasks. > and running as root is a security risk? No. If you want to offer smb services then it must run as root. If you don't need the service don't run the daemon. -- Martin -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
