[Orca-users] SE Toolkit

[Diana N]

Jason,

  We are running SE 3.2.1 and when we installed it, we
tried to make it run as a non-root user for, say,
security reasons. When we tried with a regular user we
found that there were a couple of graphs that we
didn't get info for. We found, though, that the user
sys was good enough, so we are using that one. In any
case, that's for our version; I'm not sure if they
changed something for yours..

Diana.
