README.running_as_nonroot It is possible to run ServDoc as non-root-User. There are two common problems: 1. There are some commands which aren't in the search-path for non-root-users. (eg: /sbin is not often part of the PATH variable for normal users). But these commands are executable for non-root (eg ifconfig!). Therefor: If you want to run ServDoc as non root, extend your PATH variable for the same directories as root, that is (depends on your unix): "/sbin:/usr/sbin/:/etc" 2. There are some commands or some files only root can execute/read. Sorry, we can't make something about that (and we don't advise to do so!).
