Heya.. By reading my /usr/local/etc/apache2/httpd.conf, I can find out that my Apache is running as the user "www" and the group "www" .. Yet, when I run sockstat, it tells me one of the forks are runned as root and listening on port 80 as well as the other forks are runned by www:www.. If I got a lot of users connecting to my server on port 80, will thier requests ever be answered by the root fork or the www:www forks? --- snip --- [root@ninja:~]# sockstat -l4p80 USER COMMAND PID FD PROTO LOCAL ADDRESS FOREIGN ADDRESS www httpd 18149 3 tcp4 *:80 *:* www httpd 18148 3 tcp4 *:80 *:* www httpd 18147 3 tcp4 *:80 *:* www httpd 14055 3 tcp4 *:80 *:* www httpd 14054 3 tcp4 *:80 *:* www httpd 14053 3 tcp4 *:80 *:* www httpd 14052 3 tcp4 *:80 *:* www httpd 14051 3 tcp4 *:80 *:* root httpd 14050 3 tcp4 *:80 *:* [root@ninja:~]# --- snip --- Best regards, Jesper Wallin
