Has shibd to run on the same server

[Marc Kalberer]

Hello Scott,
Thanks for the quick answer.

The reason is because of the infrastructure of the hosting company Im 
working with.  They are pretty flexible but
- they allow daemons to be run only as "non-root" user
- they run apache on a dedicated server, different from the one accessed 
by ssh (on witch the daemon would be running)
If I understand you correctly : this approach is too far from the 
"classic" way of running shibd ?
Rem: shibd PID is on the same shared filesystem.
