Well, in some cases yes, you will be just running as a single user, you might consider running everything you need as 'root', however this is still not good practice and should not be encouraged. I'd advise against doing so in any sort of production environment. It's one of the overheads of a full-blown operating system, if you want to skip the privilege separation, consider a RTOS. -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.
