Perhaps 'wwwdata' instead of 'www-data' as 'Apache-user'?
Hallo,
I'm writing to you, because I've noticed, that in Debian there is used
"www-data" as the name of the "Apache user". I'd suggest to change the name
to "wwwdata". Why? Because PostgreSQL server - used at many WWW sites
instead of MySQL - doesn't allow to use the dash in usernames, and because
of this one can't execute neither 'adduser' nor any 'GRANT' using 'www-data'
as parameter.
After every Apache packet upgrade there's a need to change the name from
'www-data' to some different one, without a dash. So, why not to solve
the problem once for always?
Happy New Year, anyway... ;)
