I have no opinion here... just asking
but now that you ask, yes I think these are correct
since the vServer is running as root process
all files it creates are owned by root (system)

of course this means that if you want to start server from terminal
you must be logged as root or use sudo keyword

well... I had tried it
but it crashed on a nil cursor...

but now I'm starting to see things clearer so I'll check that again

BTW I'm wondering how to figure out when connection attemps fail

i.e.
after coding 
 db = new vDatabase(host, user, password)
or
 vs = new vServer(host, user, password)

how can I know if something gone wrong and connection failed?
in the vServer Utility RB project I leave parameters as default "localhost,
sa, sa" 
it seems to connect but it really doesn't
I must change "localhost" with "" to get a real connection

yes, I talk about these ones
the most offending I found so far is BO.RecordCount
that crashes server with bus error
(but I didn't check them deep, just those in the single table example)
