When too many are added, Apache will have trouble starting up - complaining about not being able to set the group and user IDs. Tue Feb 17 07:50:53 2009] [alert] (22)Invalid argument: initgroups: unable to set groups for User www and Group 80 [Tue Feb 17 07:50:53 2009] [alert] (22)Invalid argument: initgroups: unable to set groups for User www and Group 80 [Tue Feb 17 07:50:53 2009] [alert] (22)Invalid argument: initgroups: unable to set groups for User www and Group 80 [Tue Feb 17 07:50:54 2009] [alert] Child 10883 returned a Fatal error... Apache is exiting! >How-To-Repeat: Install Virtualmin, create new domains with user accounts. The problem appears after you create 10 or so >Fix: Change the following defaults for virtualmin: DO NOT add the new users to the www group Create public_html directories with ownership mode 755 Remove previous accounts that were created from the www group in the /etc/group file. I can create a diff of the settings file for virtualmin if required. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
