GT.M has no database daemon. GT.M processes operate with normal user ids and group memberships, and a process is able to access a database file only if its user id and group membership has access to the database file as determined by the database file's user / group / world permissions. Details are in the security philosophy document (http://tinco.pair.com/bhaskar/gtm/doc/articles/GTM_Security_Philosophy.html is the URL; the way to always access current GT.M documentation is to go to http://fis-gtm.com and click on the User Documentation tab). The first process to open a database file sets up the interprocess communication control structures (e.g., shared memory) needed for multi-process / multi-user access. The last process to close it cleans up. Regards -- Bhaskar -- GT.M - Rock solid. Lightning fast. Secure. No compromises.
