Ya know, there are none so blind ... IT'S BEEN COMMENTED OUT!

<security>
        <chroot>0</chroot>
        <!--
        <changeowner>
            <user>admin</user>
            <group>admin</group>
        </changeowner>
        -->
    </security>

I'll try it with the comment lines removed and let you know. I swear I
read this a half a hundred times and didn't notice it until JUST NOW!

Hello Steve!

That's why I always use an editor with *syntax highlighting* :)

Well that's a good idea in theory, but it couldn't possibly be
highlighted enough to help me because I'm totally blind. No worries
though. Just have to pay better attention to what my screenreader is
(or, in this case, isn't) telling me.
