Re: Run cherokee as root or normal user ?
[In reply to]

I guess the best thing (security wise) i can think of is, to create a group
or user say cherokee and make cherokee webserver to run and this user should
have read per on all the root file system and only write on certain paths
where it has to write some thing like log, settings, etc.
This isolation will not favor the remote hacker in corrupting the filesystem
via a loop hole of cherokee.
Just my 2 cents. I may be wrong.
