Earthworm Modules:
Startstop File Characteristics

(last revised 6 February 1998)

For a more secure operation Earthworm should be run by a user other than root; however, some modules need to have root permissions to set their priority. To set it up to do this you should:

Login as 'root'.

cd /home/earthworm/vX.X/bin

chown root startstop

chmod 4775 startstop

You should now be able to run earthworm without being root.
