I've been looking into running IKSD as a regular user instead of as
root for security reasons. For example like Squid starts up as "root"
but runs all its' other processes as user "squid", same with Apache
and user "apache". I also want to give incoming connections
"anonymous" access over some sort of secure tunnel for download
only. I know about sftp, scp - I don't want those - I want Kermit 95
or c-kermit on the client side for the robust scripting. I will have
complete control over the client and server side of this application.
Is this possible? I've read through what I can find so far on The
Kermit Project web pages but nothing jumped out that let me know I
can do this. So, I'll ask here for a URL if this can be done and the
URL to a HOWTO exists. Of course a concise explanation in the group
will work as well.
I did find a post by Jeffrey Altman in a Google Groups search about
running C-Kermit and then using the "SET SERVER ..." command. That is
not what I want although I will use it as a last resort.
TIA!
