<html> <b>NAME</b><br> RunAsGroup - slow.conf configuration item <p> <b>SYNOPSIS</b><br> <code><ul> RunAsGroup = [ name | gid ] </ul></code> <p> <b>DESCRIPTION</b><br> The RunAsGroup slow.conf configuration item defines the group that <b>slowmilt</b> will run as, if it is executed by <i>root</i>. <p> When <b>slowmilt</b> first starts to run, it looks at its effective and real user identities to see if either is <i>root</i>. If so, it next checks to see if this RunAsGroup item was defined (the default is undefined), and if it is, <b>slowmilt</b> next checks to see if it was defined with an integer gid, or with a text name. An integer gid is used as-is. A text name is looked up in the <i>group</i> file to find the gid for that name. If the name cannot be found, the following error is printed, and <b>slowmilt</b> exits: <code><ul> RunAsGroup=<i>badname</i>: no such group name </ul></code> Otherwise a good gid was specified or found, so <b>slowmilt</b> sets its effective and real gids to that value. <p> Generally, RunAsGroup should not be set if you set the sgid bit on the <b>slowmilt</b> executable. You might want to set sgid bit if you want to allow shared access to the <b>slowedit</b> program. The sgid bit is effective no matter who runs <b>slowedit</b>, whereas this RunAsGroup item is only effective when run by <i>root</i>. <p> </body> </html>
