[PATCH] Win32: User directive
PR 2303 states that the User directive
does not work on Win32. This is true and
I do not believe Apache should change this
because it would minimally mean putting the
password of the user id somewhere where Apache
could get it.
In order to get this function on NT, you
should install the server as a service, and
set up the "Startup..." settings to have the
service start under a particular user account.
I'm proposing that we just put a NOTICE in
the error log stating that the User directive
has no affect on Win32.
What do you think?

What's that got do do with User?

Sorry, my mistake. I can't read right. Ignore me.

Sorry, you lost me. Are you saying that the UserDir directive
inherits something from the User directive, or there is a special
relationship?

Except it does have an effect. You can use "UserDir /home/*" or something
like that just fine.
