DA and HTTPD users?

[thoroughfare]

Hi,

Is it normal for DA to be running as nobody and httpd to be running as root?

Seems a little unsecure?

Thanks,
Matt :)

Yes that is normal for apache. You should only see a handful of processes running though.

For sure?

Hmm... I'm thought it ran as 'nobody' or 'apache'?

Hello,

You should have 1 root httpd process, which is used to spawn "children". All the rest should be run by apache. Other than that, any cgi files would be suexec'd to the user who owns the script.
