However, the webserver is supposed to run under a non-root user, such as "nobody". mod_auth_shadow addresses this difficulty by opening a pipe to an suid root program, validate, which does the actual validation. When there is a failure, validate writes an error message to the system log, and waits three seconds before exiting. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
