Yes, but which permissions need to be set on what? I'd like to do this and avoid any security holes if possible. I've seen code that uses setgid? or setuid? to do this but I'm not sure I want to go down that road if there is an offical way of doing this with FreeBSD. Also, others have mentioned super? but I still get permissions errors? I'm currently looking through the archive mail lists but so far no concrete info. All I can find is use app this and that but no config parameters? Help?
