Re: [AMaViS-user] Starting daemon results in no running processes

Hi Jeff

Just my 2cents, at least under my suse9 there was a bug in Net::Server
0.89 that it couldn't switch UID or GID
This seems to be fixed in 0.90 as far as i can see on my suse10 box.
Update using:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
install Net::Server

good luck

Matt
