Few questions pertaining to a fedora fc1 server I just set up to host a game server. I went to the archive but got a big red "Temporarily Unavailable". 1. In windows you can go to services and tell it what user account to run that service at. If I understand this correctly, in order to do that in Linux do you install the program files into a particular users home directory in order for it to run as that user? If this is not how it works in Linux, how does a person get a server process to operate under another account other than root? 2. I am able to run the game server process when logged in as this particular user by going to the home directory and typing in the long command to get it going. I was told I can get it to go on automatically upon boot-up if I enter a line into /etc/rc.d/rc.local pointing directly to the program to run. Didn't seem to work. What is the correct way to fire up a service upon startup of the server? 3. Finally, when entering in a command to start a server process and ending it with an &, isn't it supposed to stay running? When connecting via putty and I start this program manually and put an & at the end, then turn off putty essentially killing the session, the server process I started ended. Am I interpreting the use of & incorrectly? Thank you for your assistance. -George
