    Hi! I know awhile back there was a little rucus and
    next thing I knew it, I was getting 'sshd' and 'www'
    users in my group with the newest versions of the
    FreeBSD RELEASE.

    Hip hip hooray! These look useful. I should of used
    them earlier -- if I knew how. Anyway, the status quo
    is I'm still running too much under root and I want to
    take advantage of this priv sep business. Now I went
    searching through the handbook, and here is what I
    concluded:
    1) It is not in the handbook, OR
    2) I am very lousy at going through the handbook.

    So how do I get sshd to run off the sshd user?
    Would apache be cooperative with the www user as well,
    or is that more tricky?

    These are not ports I'm using -- I like to download
    from source directly from the ssh/apache folks.

    So umm.. how do I get this privsep thing going for me?

    Sorry about the Yahoo account (and the do you Yahoo!?
    signature you are about to receive), but I don't want
    to lure every scripter and blackhat in the known
    universe to run screaming 'root daemon! root daemon!
    attack attack!!!'....
