[Slashcode-development] questions regarding slashd and the user it runs under.

[CertIndex.com W. <web...@ce...>]

1. we have an account for our site, foo. should we make slashd run as 'foo'
then? or as nobody, the uid of the webserver.
if we should run it as foo, should the files all be owned by foo or nobody?

2. in the vars table, the name field siteowner has a default value of
nobody. the description is "What user this runs as". what user what runs as?
slashd? should this be set as nobody or foo?

3. in the same vars table, there is the entry siteadmin    admin    The
admin for the site. what relevance does this var have? 'the admin for the
site' is, like most other slash documentation, ambiguous. it should explain
what the thing is used for and if there is a static set of acceptable
values, those and what each of them means.
