you never need root.......use the sudo command......you shouldn't be messing with LINUX unless you at least know the basics. Somebody will bounce malicious content off your servers consume your stream use your available bandwidth and they all said they are all going to laugh at you.

Hi,

Thanks for your interest in FMS.

Can you please let me know the FMS version that you are using ? The latest FMS does not install as root, but makes a new 'fms' user and group, to be edited during and after the installation. If you are not using the latest (which is FMS 4.5) can you give it a try pleasE ?

Thank you !

Don't you still need root to stop and start it via SSH?
