Boa configuration

Hi,

When I execute boa I receive an error as:

--- Quote Start ---

[30/Nov/1999:00:14:38 +0000] No such user: root

--- Quote End ---

I have tried to configure boa but I haven't succeeded . I have changed some parameters of "etc/boa.conf", I Also have inserted some printf's in "config.c" to check if the information that is read is correct.

I have noticed that information that is readed is always the same althought I have modified boa.conf.

This is the correct file to change the configuration of Boa?, or which things I do wrong.

PD: I have a DE2-70 with uclinux MMU

Thanks a lot

    Hi,

    I haven't solutioned that problem I gave up.

    But the other day I found a post about this theme. It suggested to comment two lines of code(Lines that give the error). These lines are relationed with ethernet's security, so boa can run without them. I don't know if it goes, I have to prove it during this week.

    In /src/boa.c in function drop_privs, comment these lines: 

    
DIE("getpwuid"); 
DIE("initgroups");
    Please keep inform if you find the solution for this trouble, I also will try it.

    Thanks

    I have tested what I have said in my last post and it didn't go. Then appeared different errors
