As running a server as root represents a security risk you must set the property IceGrid.Node.AllowRunningServersAsRoot=1
See http://www.zeroc.com/doc/Ice-3.2.1/manual/PropRef.50.12.html for full details.0 -
I put that property in my config and it says:warning: unknown property: IceGrid.Node.AllowRunningServersAsRoot
That property doesn't show up in the Distributed Programming with Ice pdf either.0 -
What version of Ice are you using?0
-
The version is 3.2.0.0

Ok, thanks for your help.0
