Chernov" ----- Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2001 15:58:55 +0400 From: "Andrey A. Chernov" Subject: HEADS UP: Apache port change from nobody:nogroup to www:www planned To: ports@FreeBSD.ORG, developers@FreeBSD.ORG Due to Apache mis-use of nobody:nogroup UID/GID (user nobody must not own any file in the system), I plan switch apache to www:www instead. It breaks some related ports and they should be fixed by their maintainers. Moreover, it breaks existen cgi-bin-write setups too, group nogroup should be changed to www by webmasters. Questions are: What is the best way to _automatically_ add www:www to /etc/{passwd,group}? I think about 'pw' command, but it will be nice if somebody already have working example. I plan to add www:www to default etc directory passwd/group too. What is the best numerical value, if any, for www UID/GID? Any other comments, of course, welcome. -- Andrey A.
