Since you have the user option set, after NexusChat does the chroot() it will 
drop its root privs and become the nchat user.  So it is actually running as 
the nchat user.

That max number you are talking about was referring to the database size.  You 
want to change the number of max ports.  There is an option to change it in 
the setup.sh program, or you can edit config.h and change the MAX_USERS 
variable to whatever you want.

I also wouldn't suggest setting MAX_USERS to 999 for speed reasons.  I would 
set it to the most users you have ever had online at the same time and maybe 
add 10 to that.

Hope that helps.
