Re: why are files/directories owned by www-data !?
Hi,
About www-data and having the server run as this...
Should this be policy, inasmuch as certain files are owned by www-data
and apache as packaged by debian is set to run as www-data?
I think it probably should, it would make cgiwrap (my pkg) and others
that interoperate with apache easier to configure.
(Note however, others have expressed disdain when the Apache server
they built from non-debianized source and which runs as nobody.nogroup
would not work with cgiwrap; when I said (on IRC) "try running apache
as www-data.www-data", I got a disdainful reaction. Not sure why, but
maybe this says there are other opinions... If so, please post here so!)
