Hello,<br>
<br>
I've seen reference in some mails on this list to the user www.<br>
I have user 'apache' in my system and Smokeping is running without user www.<br>
I tried checked on the internet to try and find our if there are any<br>
conventions or requirements vis a vis 'www' but found very little.<br>
<br>
I suspect this is a very elementary question, but would someone mind<br>
clarifying how it is used in connection with smokeping? I'm guessing<br>
it is just the convention among some admins to have this user start<br>
and run apache server, but I'd like to be sure.<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
LN<br>
