- Is there any way to have the MultiNet server process start up a service under a
- different username? For example, I'd like NNTP to start up under the NEWSMGR
- account so that I can properly bill for it and to limit the damage it could do
- if it went haywire. Similarly, we've got customer applications that could
- benefit from having their own service but there's no way I can let them have
- the system (which is what would happen if I let them run now).
-
- Is this in 3.2 or currently planned for a future release?
